Rab12 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable GDP binding activity and GTPase activity. Involved in endosome to lysosome transport; positive regulation of macroautophagy; and protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to type II interferon. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and vacuole. Orthologous to human RAB12 (RAB12, 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 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.
