RAB8A - RAB8A, member RAS oncogene family Gene
Also Known as MEL; RAB8
Species: Homo sapiens
About RAB8A
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 250 orthologues and 68 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in small intestine (RPKM 24.4), duodenum (RPKM 22.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ras superfamily which are small GTP/GDP-binding proteins with an average size of 200 Amino acids. The RAS-related proteins of the RAB/YPT family may play a role in the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and the plasma membrane. This protein shares 97%, 96%, and 51% similarity with the dog RAB8, mouse MEL, and mouse YPT1 proteins, respectively and contains the 4 GTP/GDP-binding sites that are present in all the Ras proteins. The putative effector-binding site of this protein is similar to that of the RAB/YPT proteins. However, this protein contains a C-terminal CAAX motif that is characteristic of many Ras superfamily members but which is not found in YPT1 and the majority of RAB proteins. Although this gene was isolated as a transforming gene from a melanoma cell line, no linkage between MEL and malignant melanoma has been demonstrable. This oncogene is located 800 kb distal to MY09B on chromosome 19p13.1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
