Ubiquitously expressed (at protein level). Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Expression is down-regulated in pancreatic and in kidney tumors.
Preautophagosomal structure membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Localizes to omegasomes membranes which are endoplasmic reticulum connected structures at the origin of preautophagosomal structures. Enriched at preautophagosomal structure membranes in response to PtdIns3P.
PMID: 15602573 by Proikas-Cezanne T., et al. WIPI-1alpha (WIPI49), a member of the novel 7-bladed WIPI protein family, is aberrantly expressed in human cancer and is linked to starvation-induced autophagy.
PMID: 20505359 by Polson H.E., et al. Mammalian Atg18 (WIPI2) localizes to omegasome-anchored phagophores and positively regulates LC3 lipidation.
