Description

General description

Beclin-2 (UniProt: P0DM65) is encoded by Becn2 gene (Gene ID: 226720) in murine species. Beclin-2 is a member of the Atg6/Beclin family and is involved in 2 distinct lysosomal degradation pathways and acts as a regulator of autophagy and as a regulator of G-protein coupled receptors turnover. It regulates degradation in lysosomes of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors via its interaction with GPRASP1/GASP1. Beclin-2 family members are specific to mammals whereas Becln-1 subfamily members are present in more primitive vertebrates. Beclin-2 interacts with ATG14, AMBRA1, UVRAG and PIK3C3/VPS34 and this interaction is not disrupted by starvation. It is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle, placenta, thymus and uterus and expression is lower in liver, testis, stomach, and 17-day-old embryos. Disruption of Beclin-2 is shown to reduce embryonic viability and heterozygous knockout mice show defects in autophagy, increased levels of Cnr1 receptor, elevated food intake, and obesity and insulin resistance.
