Gene:
APG7 autophagy 7-like (S. cerevisiae)
Gene ID:
209130
Symbol:
APG7L
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene was identified based on homology to Pichia pastoris GSA7 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae APG7. In the yeast, the protein appears to be required for fusion of peroxisomal and vaculuolar membranes. The protein shows homlogy to the ATP-binding and catalytic sites of the E1 ubiquitin activating enzymes.
