RAB14 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

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]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2009]

RAB14: a protein of the GTPase superfamily, Rab family. May be involved in vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Localized to the inner face of the cell membrane by a lipid-anchor.
