Rab7b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including late endosome to Golgi transport; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to type II interferon. Predicted to be located in trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in late endosome; lysosome; and phagocytic vesicle. Orthologous to human RAB7B (RAB7B, member RAS oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Rab7b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
