Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in aggrephagy. Predicted to be located in phagophore assembly site. Predicted to be part of Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head; hypodermis; pharyngeal muscle cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma; colon cancer; and hepatocellular carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human ATG101 (autophagy related 101).
