Macroautophagy - Preferred

Concept UI	M000647960
Scope note	The segregation of large parts of the cytoplasm, including ORGANELLES and PROTEIN AGGREGATES, into AUTOPHAGOSOMES and lysosomal degradation after fusion with LYSOSOMES.
Preferred term	Macroautophagy
Entry term(s)	Macro Autophagy Macro-Autophagy

Pexophagy - Narrower

Concept UI	M000648265
Scope note	Macroautophagic degradation of PEROXISOMES. In yeast peroxisomes are degraded via a microautophagic process known as MICROPEXOPHAGY.
Preferred term	Pexophagy

Xenophagy - Narrower

Concept UI	M000648266
Scope note	Autophagic degradation of microorganisms in the CYTOPLASM.
Preferred term	Xenophagy

Chaperone-Assisted-Selective Autophagy - Broader

Concept UI	M000648271
Scope note	A selective type of macroautophagy in which PROTEIN AGGREGATES that are bound to chaperone HSPPA8 and other co-chaperones are taken in for lysosomal degradation by invagination. It is distinguished from CHAPERONE-MEDIATED AUTOPHAGY.
Preferred term	Chaperone-Assisted-Selective Autophagy
Entry term(s)	Autophagies, Chaperone-Assisted-Selective Autophagy, Chaperone-Assisted-Selective Chaperone Assisted Selective Autophagy

Lysophagy - Narrower

Concept UI	M000648268
Scope note	Autophagic degradation of damaged LYSOSOMES.
Preferred term	Lysophagy

Aggrephagy - Narrower

Concept UI	M000648270
Preferred term	Aggrephagy

Proteaphagy - Narrower

Concept UI	M000648267
Scope note	Macroautophagic degradation of PROTEASOMES.
Preferred term	Proteaphagy
