Identification of the autophagy pathway in a mollusk bivalve, Crassostrea gigas

Abstract excerpt

The autophagy pathway is involved in numerous cellular processes, including responses to starvation, cell death, and microorganism elimination. Autophagy also exists in C. gigas, and plays a role in the immune response against infections....
