ATG (autophagy acronym)

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

ATG is short for "AuTophaGy"-related, which is applied to both genes and proteins related to the biological process of autophagy.[1] There are about 16-20 conserved ATG genes coding for many core ATG proteins conserved from yeast to humans.[1] ATG may be part of the protein name (such as ATG7) or part of the gene name (such as ATG7).[2], although all ATG proteins and genes do not follow this pattern (such as ULK1 and ULK1).[1]

To give specific examples, the UKL1 enzyme (kinase complex) induces autophagosome biogenesis, and ATG13 (Autophagy-related protein 13) is required for phagosome formation.[3]
