MAP1LC3C

Gene
MAP1LC3C
Protein
Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3C
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
147 amino acids
Function
Ubiquitin-like modifier that plays a crucial role in antibacterial autophagy (xenophagy) through the selective binding of CALCOCO2. Recruits all ATG8 family members to infecting bacteria such as S.Typhimurium (PubMed:23022382). May also play a role in aggrephagy, the macroautophagic degradation of ubiquitinated and aggregated proteins (PubMed:28404643).
Similarity
Belongs to the ATG8 family.
