Function
MON1A_HUMAN Plays an important role in membrane trafficking through the secretory apparatus. Not involved in endocytic trafficking to lysosomes (By similarity). Acts in concert with CCZ1, as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) for RAB7, promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting it from an inactive GDP-bound form into an active GTP-bound form (PubMed:23084991).[UniProtKB:Q6PDG8][1]
