DESCRIPTION

Also known as RAB1B_HUMAN, RAB1B. The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes (PubMed:20545908, PubMed:9437002). Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different set of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion (PubMed:9437002). Plays a role in the initial events of the autophagic vacuole development which take place at specialized regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:20545908). Regulates vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and successive Golgi compartments (By similarity). Required to modulate the compacted morphology of the Golgi (PubMed:26209634). Promotes the recruitment of lipid phosphatase MTMR6 to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (By similarity). Interacts with MICAL1 and MICAL2 (PubMed:15694364, PubMed:27552051). Interacts (in GTP-bound form) with MICALCL, MICAL1 and MILCAL3 (PubMed:15694364, PubMed:27552051). Interacts with GDI1; the interaction requires the GDP-bound state (PubMed:8836150, PubMed:11389151). Interacts with CHM/REP1; the interaction requires the GDP-bound form and is necessary for prenylation by GGTase II (PubMed:9437002, PubMed:11389151). Interacts with RabGAP TBC1D20 (PubMed:23236136). Interacts (in GDP-bound form) with lipid phosphatase MTMR6 (via GRAM domain); the interaction regulates MTMR6 recruitment to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (PubMed:23188820). Interacts (in GDP-bound form) with lipid phosphatase MTMR7 (By similarity).
