ATG5 (Autophagy-related 5) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the process of autophagy, a cellular mechanism that involves the degradation and recycling of damaged or dysfunctional cellular components. ATG5 is a key component of the autophagy machinery and is involved in the formation of autophagosomes, which are double-membraned vesicles that engulf and digest cellular components.
