Abstract

Autophagy is an essential degradation process that sequesters and transfers the idle cytoplasmic materials to the lysosome for digestion and recyclation via the formation of autolysosome . Although both autophagy-lysosomal and ubiquitin-proteasomal pathways are the two principal pathways for cellular protein degradation.
