Abstract excerpt
Pexophagy can be experimentally induced in mammalian cells by removing the culture serum. Pex14p, a peroxisomal membrane protein essential for matrix protein import in docking of soluble receptor Pex5p, is involved in the mammalian autophagic degradation of peroxisomes and interacts with the lipidated form of LC3, termed LC3-II, an essential factor for autophagosome formation, under the starvation condition in...
