| UniProt code: Q8IZ41. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Binds predominantly GDP, and also GTP (PubMed:17448446). Acts as a dynein adapter protein that activates dynein-mediated transport and dynein-dynactin motility on microtubules (PubMed:30814157). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17448446, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30814157}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (PubMed:17448446). Interacts with the dynein- dynactin complex (PubMed:30814157). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17448446, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30814157}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17448446}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Down-regulated in cutaneous melanoma cells but not in breast cancer cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16174859}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
