Background: ATG7

ATG7, also known as APG7, is a 78 kDa cytosolic ubiquitin-E1-like enzyme that plays a key role in the autophagic pathway of intracellular bulk degradation. It is required for the conjugation of ATG5 to ATG12, the lipidation of ATG8, and subsequent autophagosome formation. ATG7 is required for mitochondrial removal during erythropoiesis and for the maintenance of axonal homeostasis. Alternate splicing of human ATG7 generates an isoform that lacks 31 aa at the C-terminus, a region that is required for ATG8 lipidation. Human ATG7 shares 93% aa sequence identitiy with mouse and rat ATG7.
