It plays a critical role in the autophagy pathway by cleaving LC3 and other Atg8 homologs facilitating their conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine on the autophagosome membrane. This protein is expressed in various tissues including the liver and skeletal muscle indicating its involvement in diverse physiological processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nATG4A contributes essential functions to cellular homeostasis by participating in autophagosome formation. As part of the group of Atg proteins it collaborates with other members to modulate the autophagy machinery. ATG4A's enzymatic activity provides the necessary steps for processing LC3 transforming it into a form that allows lipidation and incorporation into autophagic vesicles.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nATG4A is integral to the autophagy pathway a catabolic process important for cell survival under stress conditions. It interacts with proteins such as ATG7 and ATG3 within this pathway playing a significant role in the early stages of autophagosome maturation. The interactions ensure proper recycling of cellular materials and its efficient function impact cellular metabolism and stress responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nDisruptions in ATG4A function have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Aberrant autophagy processes involving ATG4A can lead to protein aggregation disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease where proper proteostasis is compromised. Also in certain cancers altered ATG4A activity can influence tumor growth often through modulation of metabolic pathways and interactions with proteins like Beclin 1 which regulate autophagic responses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850252275881,"sku":"ab108322","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab108322","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
