Description
Product Characteristics: RAB11FIP2 is an adapter protein that plays a role in the secretory pathway. It is thought to be important for endosome recycling and receptor-mediated endocytosis. In endosome recycling, RAB11-FIP2 regulates vesicle transport from the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC) to the plasma membrane.
Target Information: A Rab11 effector protein acting in the regulation of the transport of vesicles from the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC) to the plasma membrane. Also involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes, probably originating from clathrin-coated vesicles. Binds preferentially to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdInsP3) and phosphatidic acid (PA). Required in a complex with MYO5B and RAB11 for the transport of NPC1L1 to the plasma membrane. Also acts as a regulator of cell polarity
