About ULK1

Cytogenetic location: 12q24.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:131,894,622-131,923,150 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 14.9), endometrium (RPKM 11.7) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables identical protein binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autophagosome assembly; positive regulation by symbiont of host autophagy; and protein phosphorylation. Located in autophagosome; cytosol; and phagophore assembly site membrane. Is extrinsic component of autophagosome membrane; extrinsic component of omegasome membrane; and extrinsic component of phagophore assembly site membrane. Part of Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex.
