Rab5a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables GTPase activity and guanyl nucleotide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within endocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; membrane raft; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including 1-cell stage embryo; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human RAB5A (RAB5A, member RAS oncogene family).

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 mouse Rab5a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
