Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity; phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to nitrogen starvation; intracellular signaling cassette; and macroautophagy. Located in autophagosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; jaw; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glioblastoma. Orthologous to human MAP1LC3A (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha).
