Gene information for ATG12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9140
Official gene symbolATG12
Full nameATG12 autophagy related 12 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,APG12,APG12L,FBR93,HAPG12,
Gene summaryAutophagy 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]
