Endoplasmic reticulum . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome . Mitochondrion . Cytoplasm, cytosol . Nucleus . Cell junction, focal adhesion . Localizes to the cytoskeleton in absence of autophagy induction (PubMed:20921139). Upon autophagy induction, AMBRA1 relocalizes to the endoplasmic reticulum to enable autophagosome nucleation (PubMed:20921139). Partially localizes at mitochondria in normal conditions (PubMed:21358617). Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme (By similarity). .
Background:
function:Regulates autophagy and development of the nervous system. Involved in autophagy in controlling protein turnover during neuronal development, and in regulating normal cell survival and proliferation.,similarity:Contains 3 WD repeats.,subunit:Interacts with BECN1. Probably forms a complex with BECN1 and PIK3C3.,
