RAB7L_HUMAN Protein

Name Ras-related protein Rab-7L1
Description Rab GTPase key regulator in vesicle trafficking. Essential for maintaining the integrity of the endosome-trans-Golgi network structure. Together with LRRK2, plays a role in the retrograde trafficking pathway for recycling proteins, such as mannose 6 phosphate receptor (M6PR), between lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus in a retromer-dependent manner. Regulates neuronal process morphology in the intact central nervous system (CNS). May play a role in the formation of typhoid toxin transport intermediates during Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S.Typhi) epithelial cell infection.
