Rab38 (NM_028238) Mouse Recombinant Protein

Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and Mycobacterium (By similarity) . May be involved in melanosomal transport and docking. Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1. Involved in peripheral melanosomal distribution of TYRP1 in melanocytes; the function, which probably is implicating vesicle-trafficking, includes cooperation with ANKRD27 and VAMP7 (PubMed:21187289) . Plays an important role in the control of melanin production and melanosome biogenesis (By similarity) . In concert with RAB32, regulates the proper trafficking of melanogenic enzymes TYR, TYRP1 and DCT/TYRP2 to melanosomes in melanocytes (PubMed:26620560) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
