Summary: Involved in endosome to lysosome transport. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor catabolic process; autophagy; and glucose homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type I and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type II. Predicted to be active in phagophore assembly site. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; reproductive system; skeletal muscle; stomach; and thymus. Orthologous to human BECN2 (beclin 2).

a protein involved in macroautophagy/autophagy (a conserved lysosomal degradation pathway), BECN2 (beclin 2), mediates cannabinoid tolerance by preventing CNR1 recycling and resensitization after prolonged agonist exposure, and deletion of Becn2 rescues CNR1 activity in mouse brain and conveys resistance to analgesic tolerance to chronic cannabinoids

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
