RIN2 - Ras and Rab interactor 2 Gene
Also Known as MACS; RASSF4
Species: Homo sapiens
About RIN2
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 280 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in lung (RPKM 8.3), endometrium (RPKM 7.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The RAB5 protein is a small GTPase involved in membrane trafficking in the early endocytic pathway. The protein encoded by this gene binds the GTP-bound form of the RAB5 protein preferentially over the GDP-bound form, and functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RAB5. The encoded protein is found primarily as a tetramer in the cytoplasm and does not bind Other members of the RAB family. Mutations in this gene cause macrocephaly alopecia cutis laxa and scoliosis (MACS) syndrome, an elastic tissue disorder, as well as the related connective tissue disorder, RIN2 syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
