Description

Autophagy-related 18a

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including T-tubule organization; larval midgut cell programmed cell death; and macroautophagy. Located in autophagosome. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; anlage in statu nascendi; antennal anlage; central brain anlage; and central brain anlage in statu nascendi. Orthologous to several human genes including WIPI2 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
