Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlgg-2 encodes an ortholog of the autophagic budding yeast protein Atg8p;LGG-2 is also homologous the light chain 3 (LC3) subunit of themicrotubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B (MAP1A and MAP1B); LGG-2 is predicted to associate with MAP1A and MAP1B and with microtubules and toperhaps play a role in regulating the microtubule-binding activity ofMAP1A and MAP1B; LGG-2 has no obvious function in RNAi assays, and isnot required for either dauer formation or extended lifespan.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005654

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable microtubule binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in cellular response to toxic substance; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of autophagosome maturation. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on plasma membrane repair. Located in autophagosome membrane. Expressed in hypodermis; muscle cell; pharynx; spermatheca; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glioblastoma; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and liver cirrhosis. Is an ortholog of human MAP1LC3A (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha); MAP1LC3B (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta); and MAP1LC3B2 (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from [Kimura Y]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
