Identification, molecular cloning and expression analysis of a HORMA domain containing Autophagy-related gene 13 (ATG13) from the coleopteran beetle, Tenebrio molitor
Autophagy is a process that is necessary during starvation as it replenishes metabolic precursors by eliminating damaged organelles. Autophagy is mediated by more than 35 autophagy-related (Atg) proteins that manifest in the nucleation, elongation, and curving of autophagosome membrane. We isolated...
