RAB18 Antibody

Ras-related protein Rab-18 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB18 gene. It is a ubiquitously expressed protein with particularly high expression in the brain. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of Ras-related small GTPases that regulate membrane trafficking in organelles and transport vesicles. Knockdown studies in zebrafish suggest that this protein may have a role in eye and brain development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Warburg micro syndrome type 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
