    Summary
    Predicted to enable several functions, including phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity; protein tag activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in macroautophagy. Located in autophagosome. Is expressed in adult heart and organism. Orthologous to human GABARAPL1 (GABA type A receptor associated protein like 1) and GABARAPL3 (GABA type A receptor associated protein like 3 (pseudogene)).
