Autophagy-related protein 13 (ATG13)
ATG13 is a Autophagy/AMPK/DDR crosstalk with mTOR on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. Autophagy factor required for autophagosome formation and mitophagy. Target of the TOR kinase signaling pathway that regulates autophagy through the control of the phosphorylation status of ATG13 and ULK1, and the regulation of the ATG13-ULK1-RB1CC1 complex. Through its regulatio… It is indexed under "ULK complex (mTORC1-repressed autophagy initiation)" on our pathway page for antibodies, inhibitors, and assay guidance.
| Type / example | Domain / context (brief) |
|---|---|
| Expression context | Tissue/cell-type–dependent expression |
| Rare variants | Sporadic variants—require functional validation |
| Pathway coupling | Co-occurs with neighboring nodes on the hub |
Naming and prevalence vary by cohort and assay—annotate clinically with COSMIC, ClinVar, OncoKB, and datasheets; research context only.
Examples below reflect common literature and public resources (e.g., CCLE, DepMap)—validate genotypes, expression, and passage in your own stocks before committing assays.
Human tissues and primary cells require ethics/IRB approval; tumors are heterogeneous—record histotype, site, and preservation conditions.
Overexpression vs endogenous ATG13 can differ in dosage, splicing, and compartmentation—in organoids/PDX, record passage, matrix, and drug history.
Adds ATG13 keyword bias atop the PI3K/Akt/mTOR antibody pool—if sparse, use presets above or global search.
This content supports research reagents and pathway education—not medical advice. Annotate mutations, drug indications, and protocols with authoritative databases, datasheets, and institutional oversight.
