Full name: RAB1A, member RAS oncogene family

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: RAB1; YPT1

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. Members of the gene family cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound forms. This small GTPase controls vesicle traffic from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene which encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
