Rabaptin, RAB GTPase binding effector protein 1 (RABEP1)

Target
RABEP1
Molecular classification
Other (vesicle trafficking/regulator), Rabaptin protein family
01

Overview

Rabaptin, RAB GTPase binding effector protein 1 is a cytosolic effector that links Rab4/Rab5 GTPases with vesicle coat components (such as gamma-adaptin) to regulate endocytic membrane fusion, vesicle trafficking, recycling of endosomes, and protein complex trafficking through cellular compartments. It acts as a crucial mediator of early endocytosis and is implicated in diseases involving altered vesicular transport, including certain cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. The main gene encoding this protein in humans is RABEP1, and it belongs to the rabaptin protein family[1][3][5][10][11].
