Autophagy-related protein 9A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATG9A gene. [5]
Functional studies indicate that ATG9A plays a role in autophagy. [6] [7] and other non-autophagy membrane remodeling processes such as plasma membrane repair. [8] Enzymatically, it is a lipid scramblase. [6] [7] ATG9A interacts with IQGAP1 and the ESCRT machinery in membrane remodeling. [8]
