UniProt Comments
E2 conjugating enzyme responsible for the E2-like covalent binding of phosphatidylethanolamine to the C-terminal Gly of ATG8. This step is required for the membrane association of ATG8. The formation of the ATG8-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate is essential for autophagy and for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt).
