Description

autophagy related 5

Gene Summary

Predicted to contribute to Atg8-family ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including chaperone-mediated autophagy; positive regulation of stress granule assembly; and response to iron(II) ion. Located in axon. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Biomarker of ischemia and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 25. Orthologous to human ATG5 (autophagy related 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
