UniProtKB accession:  Q8CDJ3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for both basal and inducible autophagy (PubMed:19270693, PubMed:19270696). Determines the localization of the autophagy-specific PI3-kinase complex PI3KC3-C1 (By similarity). Plays a role in autophagosome formation and MAP1LC3/LC3 conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine (PubMed:19270693, PubMed:19270696). Promotes BECN1 translocation from the trans-Golgi network to autophagosomes (By similarity). Enhances PIK3C3 activity in a BECN1-dependent manner. Essential for the autophagy-dependent phosphorylation of BECN1 (By similarity). Stimulates the phosphorylation of BECN1, but suppresses the phosphorylation of PIK3C3 by AMPK (PubMed:23332761). Binds to STX17-SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complex on autophagosomes and primes it for VAMP8 interaction to promote autophagosome-endolysosome fusion (By similarity). Modulates the hepatic lipid metabolism (PubMed:22992773).
