Molecular mechanism of autophagy. Autophagy involves a series of steps including initiation, nucleation, elongation, maturation, fusion, and degradation. AMPK (positive regulator) and mTOR (negative regulator) are the main regulators of autophagy. Functional complexes comprising Atg proteins coordinates and direct the formation of the autophagosome.
