gene: atg-16.2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; gamete generation; and macroautophagy. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in body wall musculature; embryonic cell; intestine; neurons; and pharyngeal muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory bowel disease 10. Is an ortholog of human ATG16L1 (autophagy related 16 like 1) and ATG16L2 (autophagy related 16 like 2).
