However, degradation of Cav‐1 can increase autophagy markers, such as cathepsin B (active form), lysosomal‐associated membrane protein‐1, LC3B, beclin 1, autophagy‐related 16 like 1, (ATG16L1), and BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), to increase autophagy of cancer cells.69 The gene discussed is BNIP3; the disease is cancer.
