Official Symbol: atg-7
Official Full Name: Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00010882
Locus tag: CELE_M7.5
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00010882
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Predicted to enable Atg12 activating enzyme activity and Atg8 activating enzyme activity. Involved in several processes, including dauer larval development; determination of adult lifespan; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be active in phagophore assembly site. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 31. Orthologous to human ATG7 (autophagy related 7).
