Serine/threonine-protein kinase ULK1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ULK1 gene.

Function

ULK1 is an important protein in autophagy. It is part of the ULK1-complex, which is needed in early steps of autophagosome biogenesis.

ULK1 has been shown to interact with GABARAPL2, GABARAP, SYNGAP1 and SDCBP.
