Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in autophagosome assembly; cellular response to glucose starvation; and engulfment of apoptotic cell. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amyloid-beta metabolic process; negative regulation of autophagosome assembly; and positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Located in autophagosome; phagocytic vesicle; and trans-Golgi network. Part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III. Is active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; extraembryonic visceral endoderm; jaw; oral epithelium; and sensory organ. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease and breast cancer. Orthologous to human BECN1 (beclin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
