Substrate-binding subunit of the Rab geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase) complex. Binds unprenylated Rab proteins and presents the substrate peptide to the catalytic component B composed of RABGGTA and RABGGTB, and remains bound to it after the geranylgeranyl transfer reaction. The component A is thought to be regenerated by transferring its prenylated Rab back to the donor membrane. Besides, a pre-formed complex consisting of CHM and the Rab GGTase dimer (RGGT or component B) can bind to and prenylate Rab proteins, this alternative pathway is proposed to be the predominant pathway for Rab protein geranylgeranylation Full-length recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-653 from human CHM, fused to 6X His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli (P24386).
