The function of ELAPOR1 (endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1, ENSG00000116299) is as follows. May protect cells from cell death by inducing cytosolic vacuolization and up-regulating the autophagy pathway (PubMed:21072319). May play a role in apoptosis and cell proliferation through its interaction with HSPA5 (PubMed:26045166). .
