UniProt functional annotation for Q9UJ41

UniProt code: Q9UJ41.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Rab effector protein acting as linker between gamma-adaptin, RAB4A or RAB5A. Involved in endocytic membrane fusion and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes. Stimulates nucleotide exchange on RAB5A. Can act as a ubiquitin ligase (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11452015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15339665, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with RGS14; the interaction is GTP-dependent (By similarity). Heterodimer with RABEP1. The heterodimer binds RAB4A and RAB5A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Interacts with RAB21, and with 100-fold lower affinity also with RAB22. Binds TSC2, GGA1, GGA2, GGA3, AP1G1 and AP1G2. Interacts with ubiquitinated EGFR. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11452015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12505986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15339665, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16499958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17450153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12505986}. Early endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12505986}. Recycling endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12505986}.
Ptm: Monoubiquitinated.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAC87138.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Readthrough transcript KCTD7-RABGEF1.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
