Gene Symbol:

ATG7 Homo sapiens

Full name:

autophagy related 7

Synonyms:

APG7-LIKE, APG7L, GSA7, ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7, APG7 autophagy 7-like, ATG12-activating enzyme E1 ATG7, hAGP7, ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1-like protein

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 11315160-11571557

Description:

This gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that is essential for autophagy and cytoplasmic to vacuole transport. The encoded protein is also thought to modulate p53-dependent cell cycle pathways during prolonged metabolic stress. It has been associated with multiple functions, including axon membrane trafficking, axonal homeostasis, mitophagy, ...

View Full Description

This gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that is essential for autophagy and cytoplasmic to vacuole transport. The encoded protein is also thought to modulate p53-dependent cell cycle pathways during prolonged metabolic stress. It has been associated with multiple functions, including axon membrane trafficking, axonal homeostasis, mitophagy, adipose differentiation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
