Function: Catalyzes the transfer of a geranylgeranyl moiety from geranylgeranyl diphosphate to both cysteines of Rab proteins with the C-terminal sequence -XXCC, -XCXC and -CCXX, such as RAB1A, RAB3A, RAB5A and RAB7A. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18399557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18756270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19894725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22480322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22963166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8505342}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=geranylgeranyl diphosphate + L-cysteinyl-[protein] = diphosphate + S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21240, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10131, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11537, ChEBI:CHEBI:29950, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:57533, ChEBI:CHEBI:86021; EC=2.5.1.60; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18399557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18756270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19894725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22480322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22963166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8505342};

Activity regulation: The enzymatic reaction requires the aid of a Rab escort protein (also called component A), such as CHM.
Subunit: Heterotrimer composed of RABGGTA, RABGGTB and CHM; within this trimer, RABGGTA and RABGGTB form the catalytic component B, while CHM (component A) mediates peptide substrate binding (PubMed:10745007, PubMed:12620235, PubMed:18399557, PubMed:18756270, PubMed:19894725, PubMed:22480322, PubMed:8505342, PubMed:22963166). The Rab GGTase dimer (RGGT) interacts with CHM (component A) prior to Rab protein binding; the association is stabilized by geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGpp) (PubMed:11675392). The CHM:RGGT:Rab complex is destabilized by GGpp (PubMed:11675392). Interaction of RABGGTB with prenylated PTP4A2 precludes its association with RABGGTA and inhibits enzyme activity (By similarity). Interacts with CHODL (By similarity). Interacts with non- phosphorylated form of RAB8A; phosphorylation of RAB8A at 'Thr-72' disrupts this interaction (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53611, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10745007, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11675392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12620235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18399557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18756270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19894725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22480322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22963166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8505342}.
Tissue specificity: Most abundant in the heart, brain, spleen and liver. Less in the lung, muscle, kidney and testis; in these tissues, more abundant than the subunit alpha.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit beta family. {ECO:0000305}.
