The protein encoded by this gene anchors the type II regulatory subunit of protein kinase A to the mitochondrion and aids in mitochondrial fission. The encoded protein also appears to be involved in autophagy and melanosome secretion. Variations in this gene may be linked to leprosy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015],function:Acts as an A-kinase anchoring protein by binding to the type II regulatory subunit of protein kinase A and anchoring it to the mitochondrion. Also involved in synchronization of mitochondrial fission.,similarity:Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with high levels in heart, liver, kidney, bone marrow, testis, colon and fetal lung.,
