Target Details for ATG4A

Target: ATG4A (Autophagy related 4A Cysteine Peptidase (ATG4A))

Alternative Name: ATG4A

Background:

Background Information: Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. ATG4A is a member of the autophagin protein family. ATG4A is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases.Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly.

This gene encodes a member of the autophagin protein family. The encoded protein is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. Transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been identified.
