NCIt definition : Autophagy-related protein 13 (517 aa, 57 kDa) is encoded by the human ATG13 gene.
This protein plays a role in the modulation of autophagy.;
NCIt note : Autophagy-related protein 13 (ATG13) appears to be phosphorylated by phosphokinase
C-zeta (PRKCZ) and dephosphorylated by phosphatase-2A (PP2A). Mutations that inactivate
the PP2A catalytic subunit may be associated with hyperphosphorylation of ATG13 and
may play a role in the pathogenesis of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance
(MGUS), Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and multiple myeloma. (OMIM);
