What's a GeneRIF?

the functions of RAB18 and RAB7 in lysosomal and autophagic activities may constitute an overlapping mechanism underlying Warburg micro syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Type 2B pathogenesis in the nervous system.
Title: Rab18 Collaborates with Rab7 to Modulate Lysosomal and Autophagy Activities in the Nervous System: an Overlapping Mechanism for Warburg Micro Syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Type 2B.
Data suggest that overexpression of Rab18 in its GDP-bound state favors peroxisome proliferation in hepatocytes; Rab18 (as well as Rab6, Rab10, and Rab14) localizes to the peroxisomal compartment.
Title: Localization of Rab proteins to peroxisomes: a proteomics and immunofluorescence study.
Overexpression of brain RAB18 in alloxan diabetes leads to uneven distribution and function of intracellular-vesicular transport causing accumulation of protein inside the cell, this results in neurological disorder.
Title: Characterization of the brain proteome of rats with diabetes mellitus through two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
in neuroendocrine cells, Rab18 acts as a negative regulator of secretory activity, likely by impairing secretory granule transport

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
