Autophagy-related protein 9AAPG9L1MGD3208mATG9

Biological function

ATG9A is a phospholipid scramblase central to autophagosome membrane expansion. It cycles between the phagophore assembly site and cytoplasmic vesicles, redistributing phospholipids across the bilayer so that membrane supplied during autophagosome growth can expand both leaflets. ATG9A also contributes to membrane trafficking events that support autophagosome initiation.

Research context

ATG9A is studied in macroautophagy, autophagosome biogenesis, lipid transport and membrane trafficking. Experimental interpretation can depend strongly on nutrient state, vesicle trafficking, subcellular localisation and membrane context, so reagent choice should account for species, application, epitope and product-level validation.
