General annotation (Comments)

Function

Ubiquitin-like protein required for autophagy. Conjugated to ATG3 and ATG5.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous. Ref.1

Domain

Shares weak sequence similarity with ubiquitin family, but contains an 'ubiquitin superfold' and the C-terminal Gly is required for isopeptide linkage. Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ATG12 family.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAH12266.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: O94817-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: O94817-4)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     56-74: DILLKAVGDTPIMKTKKWA → YLCESVLCSFPRPRSWNSL
     75-140: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
