Synthesized peptide derived from Atg16 . at AA range: 60-140
Alternative Names:
ATG16L1, APG16L, Autophagy-related protein 16-1, APG16-like 1
The protein encoded by this gene is part of a large protein complex that is necessary for autophagy, the major process by which intracellular components are targeted to lysosomes for degradation. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease type 10 (IBD10). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010],
