UniProt functional annotation for O18973

UniProt code: O18973.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Rab effector protein acting as linker between gamma-adaptin and RAB5A. Involved in endocytic membrane fusion and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes. Stimulates nucleotide exchange on RAB5A. Can act as a ubiquitin ligase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16462746, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer with RABEP1. The heterodimer binds RAB4A and RAB5A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Binds TSC2, GGA1, GGA2, GGA3, AP1G1 and AP1G2 (By similarity). Interacts with RAB21, and with 100- fold lower affinity also with RAB22 (By similarity). Interacts with ubiquitinated EGFR. Interacts with RGS14; the interaction is GTP- dependent (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}. Early endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}. Recycling endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9323142}.
Ptm: Monoubiquitinated.
