Recombinant Human Ras-related protein Rab-14 (RAB14)

Uniprot Id

P61106

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RAB14

Target Full Name

Ras-related protein Rab-14

Target Function

Involved in membrane trafficking between the Golgi complex and endosomes during early embryonic development. Regulates the Golgi to endosome transport of FGFR-containing vesicles during early development, a key process for developing basement membrane and epiblast and primitive endoderm lineages during early postimplantation development. May act by modulating the kinesin KIF16B-cargo association to endosomes. Regulates, together with its guanine nucleotide exchange factor DENND6A, the specific endocytic transport of ADAM10, N-cadherin/CDH2 shedding and cell-cell adhesion.

Target Subcellular Location

Recycling endosome. Early endosome membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome.

Target Background

RAB14 belongs to the large RAB family of low molecular mass GTPases that are involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. These proteins act as molecular switches that flip between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state in which they recruit downstream effector proteins onto membranes (Junutula et al., 2004 [PubMed 15004230]).
