General Information
Term autophagy ID (Ontology) GO:0006914 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The cellular catabolic process in which cells digest cellular materials, such as organelles and other macromolecular constituents, or non-self materials such as intracellular pathogens. Autophagy serves to provide essential nutrients under conditions of cellular stress; or can remodel intracellular structures during cell differentiation.[ ISBN:0198547684 PubMed:11099404 PubMed:29455577 PubMed:9412464 ]
