Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Ubiquitin-like protein involved in autophagy vesicles formation. Conjugation with ATG5 through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving also ATG7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and ATG10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function. The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate acts as an E3-like enzyme which is required for lipidation of ATG8 family proteins and their association to the vesicle membranes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12207896, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17999726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19074260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19164948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23202584}.
