Rab17 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GDP binding activity and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including immunoglobulin transcytosis in epithelial cells mediated by polymeric immunoglobulin receptor; plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including endosome; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Orthologous to human RAB17 (RAB17, 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 Rab17 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
