CMA is a process in which proteins harboring a pentapeptide motif related to the sequence KFERQ are specifically recognized by a cytosolic chaperone, the heat shock cognate protein of 70 kDa (hsc70). PubMed:18930136
The substrate-chaperone complex is then targeted to the lysosome by binding to lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A (LAMP-2A) which carries out receptor-mediated translocation of the substrate into the lysosome for degradation [11,13] PubMed:18930136
