Name | MAP1LC3B |
---|---|
Synonyms | MAP1ALC3 |
Function | Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). Plays a role in mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Whereas LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation. Promotes primary ciliogenesis by removing OFD1 from centriolar satellites via the autophagic pathway. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Endomembrane system; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome Note=LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes. Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme (By similarity) |
Tissue Location | Most abundant in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and testis. Little expression observed in liver |

Background
The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronalmicrotubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involvedin microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies onthe rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, aprocess that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmiccomponent.
