Predicted to be involved in autophagosome assembly; cellular response to starvation; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagy. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and endosome. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with late endosome; lysosome; and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human ELAPOR1 (endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1).
