Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain superfamily; WD domain, G-beta repeat; WD40-repeat-containing domain superfamily; and WD40 repeat. Is an ortholog of C. elegans atg-16.1 and atg-16.2. In C. elegans, atg-16.1 is involved in aggrephagy and autophagosome assembly.
