Full name: autophagy related 16 like 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: APG16L; ATG16A; ATG16L; IBD10; WDR30

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is part of a large protein complex that is necessary for autophagy, the major process by which intracellular components are targeted to lysosomes for degradation. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease type 10 (IBD10). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 12.7), testis (RPKM 12.0) and 25 other tissues

Gene size: 43997bp

Exon count: 19
