Function
Ubiquitin-like modifier that plays a role in intracellular transport of GABA(A) receptors and its interaction with the cytoskeleton. Involved in autophagy: while LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation. Through its interaction with the reticulophagy receptor TEX264, participates in the remodeling of subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum into autophagosomes upon nutrient stress, which then fuse with lysosomes for endoplasmic reticulum turnover.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane; Endomembrane system; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton; Golgi apparatus membrane; Cytoplasmic vesicle
Tissue Specificity: Heart, brain, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas
