Anti-Rab 1B

Members of the RAB protein family, such as RAB1B, are low molecular mass monomeric GTPases localized on the cytoplasmic surfaces of distinct membrane-bound organelles. RAB1B functions in the early secretory pathway and is essential for vesicle transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi (Chen et al., 1997 [PubMed 9030196], Alvarez et al., 2003 [PubMed 12802079]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2009], Protein function: The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes (PubMed:20545908, PubMed:9437002). Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different set of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion (PubMed:9437002). Plays a role in the initial events of the autophagic vacuole development which take place at specialized regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:20545908). Regulates vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and successive Golgi compartments. Required to modulate the compacted morphology of the Golgi (PubMed:26209634). Promotes the recruitment of lipid phosphatase MTMR6 to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment.

Preautophagosomal structure membrane , Lipid-anchor , Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Targeted by REP1 to membranes of specific subcellular compartments including endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and intermediate vesicles between these two compartments (PubMed:11389151). In the GDP-form, colocalizes with GDI in the cytoplasm (PubMed:11389151). Co-localizes with MTMR6 to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and to the peri-Golgi region (By similarity). .
