Gene nameRAB38
Protein nameRAB38, member RAS oncogene family
Ras-related protein Rab-38 (Melanoma antigen NY-MEL-1)
Ras-related protein Rab
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: May be involved in melanosomal transport and docking. Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1. Involved in peripheral melanosomal distribution of TYRP1 in melanocytes; the function, which probably is implicating vesicle-trafficking, includes cooperation with ANKRD27 and VAMP7 (By similarity). Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis . Plays an important role in the control of melanin production and melanosome biogenesis . In concert with RAB32, regulates the proper trafficking of melanogenic enzymes TYR, TYRP1 and DCT/TYRP2 to melanosomes in melanocytes (By similarity). .

FUNCTION: The small GTPases Rab are key regulators in vesicle trafficking. .
