ATG9A, APG9-like 1, Autophagy 9-like 1 protein, Autophagy-related protein 9A, MGD3208, MATG9, APG9 autophagy 9-like 1, APG9L1, Autophagy related 9A,
Involved in autophagy and cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation. Plays a key role in the organization of the preautophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS), the nucleating site for formation of the sequestering vesicle.
