RAB7A member RAS oncogene family, RAB7, ras-related protein Rab-7a, FLJ20819, PSN, CMT2B, PRO2706.
RAB7A belongs to the Ras superfamily of small Rab GTPases. RAB7A connects with the RIPL effector protein to regulator membrane trafficking from early to late endosome and to lysosomes. RAB7A can also regulate growth receptor endocytic trafficking, degradation, maturation of phagosome and autophagic vacuoles. RAB7A produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 227 amino acids (1-207a.a.).
