Anti-RAB22A

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAB family of small GTPases. The GTP-bound form of the encoded protein has been shown to interact with early-endosomal antigen 1, and may be involved in the trafficking of and interaction between endosomal compartments. Protein function: Plays a role in endocytosis and intracellular protein transport. Mediates trafficking of TF from early endosomes to recycling endosomes (PubMed:16537905). Required for NGF-mediated endocytosis of NTRK1, and subsequent neurite outgrowth (PubMed:21849477). Binds GTP and GDP and has low GTPase activity. Alternates between a GTP-bound active form and a GDP-bound inactive form (PubMed:16537905). [The UniProt Consortium]
