Facts about Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7.
Required for autophagic death induced by caspase-8 inhibition. Required for mitophagy which leads to modulate adrenal quantity and quality by removing the mitochondria to a basal level to meet cellular energy demands and preventing excess ROS production.
