Gene information for RAB2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5862
Official gene symbolRAB2A
Full nameRAB2A, member RAS oncogene family
Aliases,RAB2,
Gene summaryMembers of the Rab protein family are nontransforming monomeric GTP-binding proteins of the Ras superfamily that contain 4 highly conserved regions involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis. Rabs are prenylated, membrane-bound proteins involved in vesicular fusion and trafficking. The mammalian RAB proteins show striking similarities to the S. cerevisiae YPT1 and SEC4 proteins, Ras-related GTP-binding proteins involved in the regulation of secretion.[supplied by OMIM]
