UniProt functional annotation for P21856

UniProt code: P21856.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Regulates the GDP/GTP exchange reaction of most Rab proteins by inhibiting the dissociation of GDP from them, and the subsequent binding of GTP to them. Promotes the dissociation of GDP-bound Rab proteins from the membrane and inhibits their activation. Promotes the dissociation of RAB1A, RAB3A, RAB5A and RAB10 from membranes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11208110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12623022}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with RHOH (By similarity). Interacts with the non- phosphorylated forms of RAB1A, RAB3A, RAB5A, RAB5B, RAB5C, RAB8A, RAB8B, RAB10, RAB12, RAB35, and RAB43 (By similarity). Interacts with RAB3A (PubMed:8609986). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P31150, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8609986}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus, trans- Golgi network {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the Rab GDI family. {ECO:0000305}.
