The function of ENSG00000205356 (TECPR1, tectonin beta-propeller repeat containing 1) is as follows. Tethering factor involved in autophagy. Involved in autophagosome maturation by promoting the autophagosome fusion with lysosomes: acts by associating with both the ATG5-ATG12 conjugate and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) present at the surface of autophagosomes. Also involved in selective autophagy against bacterial pathogens, by being required for phagophore/preautophagosomal structure biogenesis and maturation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21575909, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22342342}.
