NCBI Description

Autophagy is a process of bulk protein degradation in which cytoplasmic components, including organelles, are enclosed in double-membrane structures called autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes or vacuoles for degradation. ATG12 is the human homolog of a yeast protein involved in autophagy (Mizushima et al., 1998 [PubMed 9852036]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Uniprot Description

ATG12: Ubiquitin-like protein required for autophagy. Conjugated to ATG3 and ATG5. Ubiquitous. Belongs to the ATG12 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Autophagy; Ubiquitin-like modifier

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q21-q22

Cellular Component: pre-autophagosomal structure membrane

Molecular Function: protein binding; APG8 conjugating enzyme activity

Biological Process: mitochondrion degradation; innate immune response; C-terminal protein lipidation; negative regulation of interferon type I production; cellular response to nitrogen starvation; autophagic vacuole formation
