(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 81631 |
Official gene symbol | MAP1LC3B |
Full name | microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta |
Aliases | ,LC3B,MAP1A/1BLC3, |
Gene summary | The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic component. [provided by RefSeq] |
