Gene information for RAB7A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7879
Official gene symbolRAB7A
Full nameRAB7A, member RAS oncogene family
Aliases,FLJ20819,PRO2706,RAB7,
Gene summaryRAB family members are small, RAS-related GTP-binding proteins that are important regulators of vesicular transport. Each RAB protein targets multiple proteins that act in exocytic / endocytic pathways. This gene encodes a RAB family member that regulates vesicle traffic in the late endosomes and also from late endosomes to lysosomes. This encoded protein is also involved in the cellular vacuolation of the VacA cytotoxin of Helicobacter pylori. Mutations at highly conserved amino acid residues in this gene have caused some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) type 2 neuropathies. [provided by RefSeq]
