Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables Atg12 activating enzyme activity and Atg8 activating enzyme activity. Involved in several processes, including macroautophagy; regulation of circadian rhythm; and synaptic vesicle cycle. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on chromatin organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; defense response to symbiont; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in axoneme and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in dopaminergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; heart; lower jaw molar; and retina. Used to study Parkinson's disease; myelodysplastic syndrome; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 31. Orthologous to human ATG7 (autophagy related 7).
