ATG14

protein-coding

autophagy related 14, the group of PIK3C3 complex subunits|Autophagy related

Gene summary

Enables GTPase binding activity; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor activity; and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including early endosome to late endosome transport; macroautophagy; and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within endosome to lysosome transport. Located in autophagosome and phagophore assembly site membrane. Is extrinsic component of omegasome membrane and extrinsic component of phagophore assembly site membrane. Is active in phagophore assembly site. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_014924.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Required for both basal and inducible autophagy. Determines the localization of the autophagy-specific PI3-kinase complex PI3KC3-C1 (PubMed:18843052, PubMed:19050071). Plays a role in autophagosome formation and MAP1LC3/LC3 conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine (PubMed:19270696, PubMed:20713597). Promotes BECN1 translocation from the trans-Golgi network to autophagosomes (PubMed:20713597). Enhances PIK3C3 activity in a BECN1-dependent manner. Essential for the autophagy-dependent phosphorylation of BECN1 (PubMed:23878393). Stimulates the phosphorylation of BECN1, but suppresses the phosphorylation PIK3C3 by AMPK (PubMed:23878393). Binds to STX17-SNAP29 binary t- SNARE complex on autophagosomes and primes it for VAMP8 interaction to promote autophagosome-endolysosome fusion (PubMed:25686604). Modulates the hepatic lipid metabolism (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CDJ3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18843052, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19050071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19270696, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20713597, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23878393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25686604}.;
