Mouse Autophagy Related Protein 2A, ATG2A ELI

Involved in autophagosome assembly, regulating the size of nascent autophagosomes.

Also regulates lipid droplets morphology and distribution within the cell (By similarity).

Tethers the edge of the isolation membrane (IM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mediates direct lipid transfer from ER to IM for IM expansion (By similarity).

(Microbial infection) Mediates the intracellular lifestyle of Cryptococcus neoformans by supporting infection.
