Facts about Transmembrane protein 59.
Acts by interacting with ATG16L1, leading to promote a functional complex between LC3 and ATG16L1 and boosting LC3 lipidation and following activation of autophagy (PubMed:27273576, PubMed:23376921). Modulates the O-glycosylation and complex N-glycosylation steps occurring throughout the Golgi maturation of several proteins like APP, BACE1, SEAP or PRNP (PubMed:20427278).

Late endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Mainly localizes to late endosomes/lysosomes. Probably first exported to the cell surface and then actively endocytosed to transiently localize in early endosomes on its way to the late endosomal/lysosomal compartment where it becomes quickly degraded.
