Rab-like protein 2B

Definition:

Small GTPase required for ciliation. Activated in a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)-independent manner via its intrinsic GDP for GTP nucleotide exchange ability. Involved in ciliary assembly by binding the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex B from the large pool pre-docked at the base of the cilium and thus triggers its entry into the cilia.
