Function

Required for selective autophagy (aggrephagy) but not for autophagic degradation of bulk cytospol in response to starvation. Involved in the formation and degradation of cytoplasmic polyubiquitin-containing bodies (p62 bodies, ALIS/aggresome-like induced structures). May play a role as adaptor or scaffolding protein by promoting the association of the E3-like ligase ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L and LC3 to ubiquitinated target substrate. The association with GABARAP is required for its recruitment to LC3B-positive p62 bodies suggesting a role in targeting certain p62 structures for clearance. Involved in midbody ring degradation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, PML body {ECO:0000250}. Membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:15342963}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:15342963}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269PubMed:15342963}. Note=Colocalizes with autophagic structures in starved cells. Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm; translocation from the nucleus to cytoplasmic polyubiquitin-containing bodies upon cellular stress is dependent on SQSTM1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Detected in liver, kidney and testis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15342963}.
