Involved in macroautophagy and negative regulation of autophagosome assembly. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head; hypodermis; pharyngeal muscle cell; and tail. Is an ortholog of human EI24 (EI24 autophagy associated transmembrane protein).
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.
