RAB12 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables GDP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; endosome to lysosome transport; and secretion by cell. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-gamma. Predicted to be located in lysosome; phagocytic vesicle; and recycling endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle; and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human RAB12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
