Predicted to be involved in autophagosome assembly; cellular response to nitrogen starvation; and late endosome to vacuole transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor catabolic process; endosome to lysosome transport; and glucose homeostasis. 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. Orthologous to human BECN2 (beclin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
