Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionepg-8 encodes a coiled-coil domain protein that is conserved amongst nematodes; EPG-8 plays an essential role in autophagy, specifically in regulating the degradation of autophagic substrates as well as the normal levels and localization of LGG-1, the C. elegans Atg8 homolog; EPG-8 thus plays a role in regulating the survival of C. elegans under conditions of nutrient starvation; EPG-8 physically interacts with BEC-1, the C. elegans Beclin 1 homlog; an EGP-8 reporter fusion is widely expressed from embryogenesis through adulthood and localizes diffusely to the cytoplasm; based upon its physical interactions and biological role in C. elegans autophagy, epg-8 may be the functional homolog of budding yeast Atg14.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00037833

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
