Gene Description

Functions as an E1 enzyme essential for multisubstrates such as ATG8-like proteins and ATG12. Forms intermediate conjugates with ATG8-like proteins (GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2 or MAP1LC3A). PE-conjugation to ATG8-like proteins is essential for autophagy. Also acts as an E1 enzyme for ATG12 conjugation to ATG5 and ATG3 (By similarity).
