Product Description
RAB5A (Ras-associated protein RAB5A), also called RAB5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB5A gene. RAB5 is a rate-limiting component of the machinery regulating the kinetics of membrane traffic in the early endocytic pathway. The RAB5A gene is mapped on 3p24.3. RAB5 is indispensable for a form of receptor tyrosine kinase-induced actin remodeling called circular ruffling. It signals to the actin cytoskeleton through RNTRE, a RAB5-specific GTPase-activating protein (GAP). RAB5 activity on phagosome membranes began to increase on disassembly of the actin coat encapsulating phagosomes. In addition, RAB5 activation is either continuous or repetitive for up to 10 minutes, but it ends before the collapse of engulfed apoptotic cells. Expression of a dominant-negative mutant of RAB5 delayed this collapse of apoptotic thymocytes, showing a role for RAB5 in phagosome maturation.
