    Summary
    Predicted to enable Atg8-family conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in macroautophagy. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and phagophore assembly site. Is expressed in body wall musculature; pharynx; reproductive system; and seam cell. Orthologous to human ATG3 (autophagy related 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
