Rab 6A Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the RAB family, which belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. GTPases of the RAB family bind to various effectors to regulate the targeting and fusion of transport carriers to acceptor compartments. This protein is located at the Golgi apparatus, which regulates trafficking in both a retrograde (from early endosomes and Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum) and an anterograde (from the Golgi to the plasma membrane) directions. Myosin II is an effector of this protein in these processes. This protein is also involved in assembly of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) by interacting with the cellular protein Bicaudal D1, which interacts with the HCMV virion tegument protein, pp150. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011], function:Protein transport. Regulator of membrane traffic from the Golgi apparatus towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) . Has a low GTPase activity., PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR., similarity:Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family., subunit:Interacts with SCYL1BP1. Interacts with VSP52 and RABGAP1. Isoform 1 interacts with RAB6KIFL but not isoform 2. Isoforms 1 and 2 interact with BICD1 and BICD2. Interacts with TMF1., tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.
