Description
Product Characteristics:
A major contributor to cellular homeostasis is the ability of the cell to strike a balance between the formation and degradation/removal of its cellular components. This process of internal cellular turn-over is called autophagy (self-eating), and is facilitated by a pathway of around 16 interacting proteins in the human. The GTPase Rab24 is thought to be involved in the regulation of vesicular transport associated with autophagy.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: RAB24phospho Y17, Rab 24, Rab-24, Ras-related protein Rab-24, RAB24_HUMAN.
Target Information: RAB24 is a small GTPase of the Rab subfamily of Ras-related proteins that regulate intracellular protein trafficking (Olkkonen et al., 1993 [PubMed 8126105]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]
