RAB21 - RAB21, member RAS oncogene family Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About RAB21
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 68 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 10.9), adrenal (RPKM 10.2) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to the Rab family of monomeric GTPases, which are involved in the control of cellular membrane traffic. The encoded protein plays a role in the targeted trafficking of integrins via its association with Integrin alpha tails. As a consequence, the encoded protein is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. Expression of this gene is associated with a poor prognosis for glioma patients. This gene is downregulated by the tumor suppressor miR-200b, and miRNA-200b is itself downregulated in glioma tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
