TBC1D20 mediates autophagy as a key regulator of autophagosome maturation

Abstract excerpt

In humans, loss of TBC1D20 (TBC1 domain family, member 20) protein function causes Warburg Micro syndrome 4 (WARBM4), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital eye, brain, and genital abnormalities. TBC1D20-deficient mice exhibit ocular abnormalities and male infertility. TBC1D20 is a ubiquitously expressed member of the family of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that increase the intrinsically...
