Gene information for ATG4D (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84971
Official gene symbolATG4D
Full nameATG4 autophagy related 4 homolog D (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,APG4-D,APG4D,AUTL4,
Gene summaryAutophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. This gene encodes a member of the autophagin protein family. The encoded protein is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. [provided by RefSeq]
