Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including Tat protein binding activity; phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in glycophagy. Predicted to be located in autophagosome; cell body; and dendrite. Predicted to be active in autophagosome membrane. Predicted to colocalize with mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; cerebral cortex; ganglia; sensory organ; and urinary system.

Cells that lacked GABARAPs and mice that lacked Gate-16 alone were defective in the IFN-gamma-induced clearance of vacuolar pathogens such as Toxoplasma. GABARAPs are uniquely required for antimicrobial host defense through cytosolic distribution of interferon-inducible GTPases.

because of its stronger binding for hKOPR, GEC1 is able to be recruited by hKOPR sufficiently without membrane association via its C-terminal modification; however, du GABARAP appears to require C-terminal modifications to enhance KOPR expression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
