{"symbol":"RAB18","synonyms":["WARBM3","RAB18LI1"],"name":"RAB18, member RAS oncogene family","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of Ras-related small GTPases that regulate membrane trafficking in organelles and transport vesicles. Knockdown studies is zebrafish suggest that this protein may have a role in eye and brain development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Warburg micro syndrome type 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
