Mitophagy-specific receptor that recruits the autophagic machinery to mitochondria and regulates selective degradation of mitochondria. Mitophagy contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Recruits ATG11 to the surface of mitochondria. Promotes also autophagy-dependent peroxisome degradation (By similarity). interacts with ATG8 and ATG11. Is recruited to the preautophagosomal structure during mitophagy and imported into the vacuole along with mitochondria during starvation. Phosphorylation of Ser-114 and Ser-119 are critically important for mitophagy and for the ATG11-ATG32 interaction. Phosphorylation depends on both HOG1 and PBS2. Belongs to the ATG32 family.
