Physiological role of autophagy as an intracellular recycling system: with an emphasis on nutrient metabolism.
Abstract
Autophagy is a major intracellular degradation system in which the cytoplasmic contents are degraded in the lysosome. Its fundamental and evolutionarily conserved role is adaptation to starvation. Recent studies using autophagy-defective mutants of various organisms including mammals have indeed demonstrated the importance of autophagy during starvation; however, the exact mechanism underlying this beneficial effect remains unclear. In addition, it is now apparent that autophagy is also important for cellular homeostasis even under non-starvation conditions, and both non-selective and selective types of autophagy appear to be critical for this function. Here, we discuss the role of this catabolic pathway in recycling intracellular components, with particular reference to nutrient metabolism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
