RAB8A

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Ras-related protein Rab-8A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB8A gene.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAS superfamily which are small GTP/GDP-binding proteins with an average size of 200 amino acids. The RAS-related proteins of the RAB/YPT family may play a role in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and the plasma membrane. This protein shares 97%, 96%, and 51% similarity with the dog RAB8, mouse MEL, and mouse YPT1 proteins, respectively and contains the 4 GTP/GDP-binding sites that are present in all the RAS proteins. The putative effector-binding site of this protein is similar to that of the RAB/YPT proteins. However, this protein contains a C-terminal CAAX motif that is characteristic of many RAS superfamily members but which is not found in YPT1 and the majority of RAB proteins. Although this gene was isolated as a transforming gene from a melanoma cell line, no linkage between MEL and malignant melanoma has been demonstrated. This oncogene is located 800 kb distal to MY09B on chromosome 19p13.1.^[3]

Interactions

RAB8A has been shown to interact with Optineurin^[4] and MAP4K2.^[5]
