Facts about Autophagy protein 5.
Involved in mitochondrial quality control after oxidative damage, and in following cellular longevity. Plays a critical role in a number of facets of lymphocyte development and is critical for both B and T lymphocyte survival and proliferation.

Ubiquitous. The mRNA is present at similar levels in viable and apoptotic cells, whereas the protein is dramatically highly expressed in apoptotic cells.
Cytoplasm. Preautophagosomal structure membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Colocalizes with nonmuscle actin. The conjugate detaches from the membrane immediately before or after autophagosome formation is completed (By similarity). Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme and to the base of the ciliary axoneme.
