RAB2A
Description
The RAB2A (RAB2A, member RAS oncogene family) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 8.
RAB2A is a protein encoded by the RAB2A gene in humans. It belongs to the Rab protein family, which are involved in vesicular fusion and trafficking. These proteins are membrane-bound and prenylated, and they play a key role in regulating the movement of vesicles within cells. RAB2A has been shown to interact with GOLGA2.
RAB2A is a small GTPase that plays a crucial role in intracellular membrane trafficking. It controls the movement of transport vesicles from their origin to their destination, ensuring the proper function and structure of cellular organelles. Specifically, RAB2A is essential for transporting proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex, and it helps maintain the compact morphology of the Golgi apparatus.
RAB2A is also known as LHX, RAB2.
