UniProtKB description:  Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in intra-Golgi traffic (PubMed:10747018). Modulates intra-Golgi transport through coupling between NSF activity and SNAREs activation (PubMed:10747018). It first stimulates the ATPase activity of NSF which in turn stimulates the association with GOSR1 (PubMed:10747018). Involved in autophagy (By similarity). Plays a role in mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production (By similarity). Whereas LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation (By similarity).
