Autophagy, the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic- lysosomal pathway is important for normal growth control and may be defective in tumor cells.
It is involved in the preservation of cellular nutrients under starvation conditions as well as the normal turnover of cytosolic components (1,2).
ATG4A, also known as AUTL2, is one of four mammalian orthologs of the yeast ATG4 protein; all four are cysteine proteases (3).
ATG4 is required for ATG8 conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine on autophagosomal membranes.
In mammals, each ATG4 homolog shows a selective preference for the ATG8 homologs (4).
