Summary of the characteristics of the eight well-characterized ER-phagy receptors discussed in this review. All proteins are human isoforms except for those marked (S.c.) for yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Abbreviations: a.a., amino acids; RHD, reticulon-homology domain; TM, transmembrane; HSAN, hereditary sensory neuropathy; UPR, unfolded protein response; PC, procollagen; ERLAD, ER-to-lysosome associated degradation; NP, NCBI Reference Sequence prefix. n/a, not applicable.
