Structural highlights
Function
[RAB8A_HUMAN] May be involved in vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Together with RAB11A, RAB3IP, the exocyst complex, PARD3, PRKCI, ANXA2, CDC42 and DNMBP promotes transcytosis of PODXL to the apical membrane initiation sites (AMIS), apical surface formation and lumenogenesis. Together with MYO5B and RAB11A participates in epithelial cell polarization.[1] [2] [RIPL2_HUMAN] Involved in cell shape and neuronal morphogenesis, positively regulating the establishment and maintenance of dendritic spines (By similarity). Plays a role in cellular protein transport, including protein transport away from primary cilia (By similarity). May function via activation of RAC1 and PAK1 (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q6AYA0][UniProtKB:Q99LE1]
