Summary: Predicted to enable lipid transfer activity; phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity; and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in autophagy of mitochondrion; macroautophagy; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; lipid droplet; and phagophore assembly site membrane. Predicted to be active in organelle membrane contact site; phagophore; and phagophore assembly site. Orthologous to human ATG2A (autophagy related 2A).

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.
