| Gene Synonyms |
LC3B ATG8F MAP1LC3B-a MAP1A/1BLC3 |
| Gene Full Name |
microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta |
| Gene Summary |
The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic component. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
