MeSH definition : An autophagy-related protein that functions in AUTOPHAGOSOME biogenesis. It is conjugated
to the ATG12 PROTEIN via a process that is similar to UBIQUITINATION and involves
the ATG7 PROTEIN and ATG10 enzyme. The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate acts as an E3 UBIQUITIN
LIGASE-like enzyme and is required for the localization of ATG8 PROTEINS to AUTOPHAGOSOME
vesicle membranes and modification of membrane lipids.;
MeSH synonym : Autophagy Related Protein 5; Apoptosis-Specific Protein; Apoptosis Specific Protein; ATG5 Protein; ATG-5 Protein; ATG 5 Protein; Autophagy Protein-5; Autophagy Protein 5; Autophagy-Related 5 Protein; Autophagy Related 5 Protein;
