Description

phosphoinositide binding protein ATG18

Gene Summary

Enables phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity and ubiquitin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including macroautophagy; vacuolar protein processing; and vacuolar transport. Located in several cellular components, including fungal-type vacuole membrane; phagophore; and phagophore assembly site. Part of PAS complex. Orthologous to human WIPI1 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 1) and WIPI2 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
