BECN2 (Beclin 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Autophagy Pathway and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection. An important paralog of this gene is BECN1. Involved in 2 distinct lysosomal degradation pathways: acts as a regulator of autophagy and as a regulator of G-protein coupled receptors turnover. Regulates degradation in lysosomes of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors via its interaction with GPRASP1/GASP1.
