Function
This antibody targets ATG-16.1, a protein likely involved in the formation of the ATG-5-ATG-12-ATG-16.1/ATG-16.2 complex. This complex is recruited to the preautophagosomal membrane and interacts with LGG-2 to facilitate autophagosome formation. While ATG-16.1 may play a distinct role in autophagosome formation compared to ATG-16.2, it functions in a partially redundant manner with ATG-16.2 to regulate autophagic processes.
