======= RAB18 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: RAB18 * **Official Name**: RAB18, member RAS oncogene family * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=22931|22931]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NP72|Q9NP72]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=RAB18&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20RAB18|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/602207|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of Ras-related small GTPases that regulate membrane trafficking in organelles and transport vesicles. Knockdown studies is zebrafish suggest that this protein may have a role in eye and brain development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Warburg micro syndrome type 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: Plays a role in apical endocytosis/recycling. May be implicated in transport between the plasma membrane and early endosomes. Plays a key role in eye and brain development and neurodegeneration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21473985}. |Gtr1 RagA| |Ras| |Arf| |Miro| |endoplasmic reticulum tubular network organization| |endoplasmic reticulum tubular network| |lipid droplet organization| |endoplasmic reticulum organization| |Rab protein signal transduction| |GDP binding| |intracellular| |secretory granule membrane| |Ras protein signal transduction| |synapse| |small GTPase mediated signal transduction| |GTPase activity| |eye development| |visual system development| |sensory system development| |GTP binding| |endomembrane system organization| |neutrophil degranulation| |neutrophil activation involved in immune response| |neutrophil mediated immunity| |neutrophil activation| |granulocyte activation| |leukocyte degranulation| |myeloid leukocyte mediated immunity| |myeloid cell activation involved in immune response| |sensory organ development| |myeloid leukocyte activation| |leukocyte activation involved in immune response| |cell activation involved in immune response| |regulated exocytosis| |brain development| |leukocyte mediated immunity| |head development| |exocytosis| |leukocyte activation| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |central nervous system development| |Golgi apparatus| |intracellular protein transport| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |cell activation| |immune effector process| |secretion| |protein transport| |intracellular transport| |peptide transport| |amide transport| |cellular protein localization| |cellular macromolecule localization| |establishment of protein localization| |intracellular signal transduction| |establishment of localization in cell| |nitrogen compound transport| |immune response| |vesicle-mediated transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp26|Oligomycin-A 20μM R00 exp26]]|-2.83| |[[:results:exp269|Bisphenol A 100μM R06 exp269]]|-2.23| |[[:results:exp298|Sucrose 20000μM R06 exp298]]|-2.11| |[[:results:exp84|UM0125461 0.74μM R02 exp84]]|-2.11| |[[:results:exp8|Brefeldin A 0.02μM R00 exp8]]|-1.87| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
