Structural highlights

Function

[ATG8_YEAST] Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicles and autophagosomes formation. With ATG4, may mediate the delivery of the vesicles and autophagosomes to the vacuole via the microtubule cytoskeleton. Participates also in membrane fusion events that take place in the early secretory pathway.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}
