Official Full Name: autophagy related 16 like 1
Also known as: IBD10; WDR30; APG16L; ATG16A; ATG16L
The protein encoded by this gene is part of a large protein complex that is necessary for autophagy, the major process by which intracellular components are targeted to lysosomes for degradation. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease type 10 (IBD10). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
