Rab11a Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including endosomal transport; regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; and regulation of protein localization. Located in recycling endosome. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; cytoplasmic vesicle; and glutamatergic synapse. Orthologous to human RAB11A (RAB11A, 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 rat Rab11a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
