Rab38 - RAB38, member RAS oncogene family Gene

Also Known as Ruby

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 252916

Summary

Enables GTP binding activity. Involved in platelet dense granule organization and positive regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Located in cytosol and vesicle. Colocalizes with Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; platelet storage pool deficiency; and proteinuria. Orthologous to human RAB38 (RAB38, member Ras oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
