Tumor protein p53-inducible nuclear protein 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q8IXH6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Dual regulator of transcription and autophagy. Positively regulates autophagy and is required for autophagosome formation and processing. May act as a scaffold protein that recruits MAP1LC3A, GABARAP and GABARAPL2 and brings them to the autophagosome membrane by interacting with VMP1 where, in cooperation with the BECN1-PI3-kinase class III complex, they trigger autophagosome development. Acts as a transcriptional activator of THRA.
