Anti-RHOB

Ras homolog gene family, member B, also known as RHOB, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the RHOB gene.RHOB is a member of the Rho GTP-binding protein family.Mediates apoptosis in neoplastically transformed cells after DNA damage. It is not necessary for development but affects cell adhesion and growth factor signaling in transformed cells. It plays a negative role in tumorigenesis as deletion causes tumor formation. It involved in intracellular protein trafficking of a number of proteins, and serves as a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis. Required for genotoxic stress-induced cell death in breast cancer cells. Protein function: Mediates apoptosis in neoplastically transformed cells after DNA damage. Not essential for development but affects cell adhesion and growth factor signaling in transformed cells. Plays a negative role in tumorigenesis as deletion causes tumor formation. Involved in intracellular protein trafficking of a number of proteins. Targets PKN1 to endosomes and is involved in trafficking of the EGF receptor from late endosomes to lysosomes. Also required for stability and nuclear trafficking of AKT1/AKT which promotes endothelial cell survival during vascular development. Serves as a microtubule-dependent signal that is required for the myosin contractile ring formation during cell cycle cytokinesis. Required for genotoxic stress-induced cell death in breast cancer cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
