MeSH definition : A serine/threonine-protein kinase that functions in AUTOPHAGY in response to starvation.
It acts on the PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL 3-KINASE complex PIK3C3 to regulate AUTOPHAGOSOME
formation. It also functions as both a downstream effector and negative regulator
of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and is activated by AMPK, which
it also negatively regulates.;
