Human autophagy related 3, ATG3, is a 314 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 36 kD, which is a ubiquitin-like modifier similar to the canonical E2 enzyme. ATG3 is a widely expressed conjugating enzyme for APG8 lipidation, an essential step for the initiation of autophagy. Autophagy is the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic-lysosomal pathway which plays an important role in controlling normal growth but may be defective in tumor cells. ATG3 is essential for autophagocytosis, which is a starvation-induced process responsible for transport of cytoplasmic proteins to the lysosome/vacuole.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Human ATG3 is a 314 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 36 kD
- Distribution
-
Expressed in testis and bone marrow stromal cell
- Function
- E2-conjugating enzyme required for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), autophagy, and mitochondrial homeostasis. Responsible for the E2-like covalent binding of phosphatidylethanolamine to the C-terminal Gly of ATG8-like proteins (GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2, or MAP1LC3A).
- Interaction
- Interacts with ATG7 and ATG12. The complex, composed of ATG3 and ATG7, plays a role in the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5.
