Autophagy-related protein 13 (ATG13)

Autophagy factor needed for autophagosome formation and mitophagy. Target of the TOR kinase signaling pathway which regulates autophagy through the control of the phosphorylation status of ATG13 and ULK1, and the regulation of this ATG13-ULK1- RB1CC1 complicated.

Throughout its regulation of ULK1 activity, plays a role in the regulation of the kinase activity of mTORC1 and cell proliferation. .
