atg-7 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable Atg12 activating enzyme activity and Atg8 activating enzyme activity. Involved in several processes, including dauer larval development; determination of adult lifespan; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be located in phagophore assembly site. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 31. Is an ortholog of human ATG7 (autophagy related 7).
