MeSH definition : An autophagy related protein which functions as a core subunit of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL
3-KINASE MULTIPROTEIN COMPLEXES. It mediates the formation of phosphatidylinositol
3-phosphate and functions in AUTOPHAGY, where it is required for maturation of the
AUTOPHAGOSOME. It also functions in ENDOCYTOSIS and CYTOKINESIS as part of a separate
complex. Beclin-1 associates with INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES and interacts with the PROTO-ONCOGENE
PROTEINS C-BCL-2 and BCL-X PROTEIN.;
