Target Details for ATG4A

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

Alternative Name: ATG4A

Background:

Synonyms: Cysteine protease ATG4A, AUT-like 2 cysteine endopeptidase, Autophagin-2, Autophagy-related cysteine endopeptidase 2, Autophagy-related protein 4 homolog A, hAPG4A, ATG4A, APG4A, AUTL2

Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed, at a low level, and the highest expression is observed in skeletal muscle and brain. Also detected in fetal liver.

Background: Cysteine protease ATG4A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ATG4A gene. It is mapped to Xq22.3. 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. 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.
