Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Ubiquitin-like domain superfamily; Autophagy protein Atg8 ubiquitin-like; and Autophagy protein Atg8 ubiquitin like. Is an ortholog of C. elegans lgg-2. In C. elegans, lgg-2 is involved in cellular response to toxic substance; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of autophagosome maturation.
