Systematic name YBL078C
Gene name ATG8
Aliases APG8, AUT7, CVT5
Feature type ORF, Verified
Coordinates Chr II:80728..80375
Primary SGDID S000000174


Description of YBL078C: Component of autophagosomes and Cvt vesicles; undergoes conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); Atg8p-PE is anchored to membranes, is involved in phagophore expansion, and may mediate membrane fusion during autophagosome formation[1][2][3][4][5]
