It has a molecular mass of approximately 230 kDa and is expressed in tissues like the liver heart and skeletal muscle. Mechanically ATG2A is important for the lipid transfer between membranes which is essential for the expansion of autophagosomes cellular structures that engulf and degrade damaged cellular materials.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nATG2A plays an important role in macroautophagy by forming part of a multiprotein complex called the ATG9 complex. It participates in membrane tethering and expansion during autophagosome formation. This protein interacts with other autophagy-related proteins including the ATG8 family to facilitate the progression of the autophagic process thereby maintaining cellular health and homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nATG2A operates mainly within the autophagy pathway specifically the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway which is vital for cellular survival and growth. In this context ATG2A acts in concert with proteins like ULK1 which helps initiate autophagy. The regulation of autophagic flux via ATG2A is critical for responding to cellular stress and adjusting metabolic activities according to the environmental conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations or dysfunction in ATG2A can impact cancer and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The protein's role in cancer links to its association with protein components like Beclin 1 which regulates autophagic vacuole formation and influences cancer cell survival. In Alzheimer's disease ATG2A interactions with neural proteins can affect the degradation of misfolded proteins which is instrumental in disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845150789801,"sku":"ab265726","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab265726","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
