MeSH definition : An autophagy related protein that is similar to UBIQUITIN-ACTIVATING ENZYME E1. It
functions in CYTOPLASM to VACUOLE transport (Cvt) and AUTOPHAGY by activating ATG12
PROTEIN for its conjugation with ATG5 PROTEIN, as well as the conjugation of ATG8
FAMILY PROTEINS with phosphatidylethanolamine for ATG8 association to Cvt vesicles
and AUTOPHAGOSOME membranes. It is also required for the nitrogen starvation response
in yeast, MITOPHAGY; and autophagic cell death induced by CASPASE 8 inhibition.;
MeSH synonym : Autophagy Related Protein 7; ATG7 Protein; Ubiquitin-Activating Enzyme E1-like Protein; Ubiquitin Activating Enzyme E1 like Protein; Ubiquitin-Like Modifier-Activating Enzyme ATG7; Ubiquitin Like Modifier Activating Enzyme ATG7; ATG12-Activating Enzyme E1 ATG7; ATG12 Activating Enzyme E1 ATG7;
