Autophagy-specific gene 2
a component of the Vps34 lipid kinase complex that is required for the formation of PI3P - functions in vesicle trafficking including autophagy and endocytosis - involved in stress, metabolic and immune signaling pathways - binds to Rab18 - promotes niche occupancy by bam mutant stem cells - Zonda, an Atg6 interactor, is critically required for starvation-induced autophagy - UVRAG interacts with Atg6 and together they promote autophagy - required for endolysosomal degradation and epithelial polarity during wing development

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
qRT-PCR of adult female heads assayed at weekly intervals shows that transcript levels remain fairly constant.
The expression of this gene along with several others is induced in salivary glands in pupae at the time of head eversion. This stage is characterized by an increase in the ecdysone titer as well as large amounts of cell death in this tissue.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
