Summary
ATG2B (autophagy related 2B, HGNC:20187) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q32.2, encoding Autophagy-related protein 2 homolog B (Q96BY7). Lipid transfer protein required for both autophagosome formation and regulation of lipid droplet morphology and dispersion.
This gene encodes a protein required for autophagy. The encoded protein is involved in autophagosome formation. A germline duplication of a region that includes this gene is associated with predisposition to myeloid malignancies.

Function. Lipid transfer protein required for both autophagosome formation and regulation of lipid droplet morphology and dispersion. Tethers the edge of the isolation membrane (IM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mediates direct lipid transfer from ER to IM for IM expansion. Binds to the ER exit site (ERES), which is the membrane source for autophagosome formation, and extracts phospholipids from the membrane source and transfers them to ATG9 (ATG9A or ATG9B) to the IM for membrane expansion. Lipid transfer activity is enhanced by WDR45/WIPI4, which promotes ATG2B-association with phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI3P)-containing membranes.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with WDR45/WIPI4.
Subcellular location. Preautophagosomal structure membrane. Lipid droplet. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Domain organisation. The chorein N-terminal domain mediates lipid transfer activity.
Similarity. Belongs to the ATG2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 96 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
