Summary

Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. This gene belongs to the autophagy-related protein 4 (Atg4) family of C54 endopeptidases. Members of this family encode proteins that play a role in the biogenesis of autophagosomes, which sequester the cytosol and organelles for degradation by lysosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Differential expression

Differential gene expression across cell types as calculated by the DESeq package (version 1.6.3). Cells are sorted based on median gene expression from highest to lowest. Squares in the upper diagonal matrix indicate results from pair-wise comparisons of two cell types on the x- and y-axis. Changing the tab on top will switch from log2 fold change to P values, and mousing over the squares will display those values. Adjusting the threshold slider will change the color of the square to indicate if it is above or below the threshold.

UCSC Genome Browser

RNA expression levels (in reads per million) averaged across samples are shown for each cell type, along with the Gencode annotations. Controls allow you to zoom in/out, move to a different region of the genome, change scales, or add/remove tracks. Future versions will also display SNPs/eQTLs as separate tracks.
