DESCRIPTION

Also known as RAB9A_MOUSE, Rab9a, Rab9, Sid99. Involved in the transport of proteins between the endosomes and the trans-Golgi network (By similarity). Involved in the recruitment of SGSM2 to melanosomes and is required for the proper trafficking of melanogenic enzymes TYR, TYRP1 and DCT/TYRP2 to melanosomes in melanocytes (PubMed:26620560). Interacts (preferentially in its GTP-bound form) with GCC2 (via its GRIP domain) (By similarity). Interacts (GTP-bound form) with SGSM1; the GDP-bound form has much lower affinity for SGSM1 (PubMed:25220469). Interacts with SGSM2 (PubMed:26620560). The GTP-bound form but not the GDP-bound form interacts with HPS4 (PubMed:26620560, PubMed:20048159). The GTP-bound form but not the GDP-bound form interacts with BLOC-3 complex (heterodimer of HPS1 and HPS4) but does not interact with HPS1 alone (By similarity).
