Ras-related protein Rab-27A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB27A gene. [5] [6]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the small GTPase superfamily, Rab family. The protein is membrane-bound and may be involved in protein transport and small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Mutations in this gene are associated with Griscelli syndrome type 2 and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [6]
The RAB27A gene is regulated by the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor. [7] [8]
RAB27A has been shown to interact with:
Melanophilin is a carrier protein which in humans is encoded by the MLPH gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
Unconventional myosin-Va is a motor protein in charge of the intracellular transport of vesicles, organelles and protein complexes along the actin filaments. In humans it is coded for by the MYO5A gene.
Ras-related protein Rab-3A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB3A gene. It is involved in calcium-triggered exocytosis in neurons.
Neurexin-1-alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRXN1 gene.
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 D1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBE2D1 gene.
Regulating synaptic membrane exocytosis protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RIMS1 gene.
Synaptotagmin-like 2, also known as SYTL2, is a human gene.
Rabphilin-3A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPH3A gene. It contains two C2 domains and binds calcium ions at low micromolar concentration. Rabphilin was shown to regulate neurotransmitter release in hippocampal neurons after neurons had an increased synaptic activity and their release rate was depressed.
Syntaxin-binding protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STXBP2 gene.
Rab11 family-interacting protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB11FIP2 gene.
Synaptotagmin-like protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYTL4 gene.
Regulating synaptic membrane exocytosis protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RIMS2 gene.
Myosin phosphatase Rho-interacting protein is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MPRIP gene.
Ras-related protein Rab-3D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB3D gene.
Synaptotagmin-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYTL1 gene.
Ras-related protein Rab-40A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB40A gene.
Ras-related protein Rab-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB15 gene.
Exophilin 5, also known as EXPH5, is a human gene.
Ras-related protein Rab-37 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB37 gene.
Double C2-like domain-containing protein beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DOC2B gene.
