Disease
RAB18_HUMAN Defects in RAB18 are the cause of Warburg micro syndrome type 3 (WARBM3) [MIM:614222. WARBM3 is a rare syndrome characterized by microcephaly, microphthalmia, microcornia, congenital cataracts, optic atrophy, cortical dysplasia, in particular corpus callosum hypoplasia, severe mental retardation, spastic diplegia, and hypogonadism.[1]
Function
RAB18_HUMAN Plays a role in apical endocytosis/recycling. May be implicated in transport between the plasma membrane and early endosomes. Plays a key role in eye and brain development and neurodegeneration.[2]
