NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The RAB5 protein is a small GTPase involved in membrane trafficking in the early endocytic pathway. The protein encoded by this gene binds the GTP-bound form of the RAB5 protein preferentially over the GDP-bound form, and functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RAB5. The encoded protein is found primarily as a tetramer in the cytoplasm and does not bind other members of the RAB family. Mutations in this gene cause macrocephaly alopecia cutis laxa and scoliosis (MACS) syndrome, an elastic tissue disorder, as well as the related connective tissue disorder, RIN2 syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
Uniprot Description
RIN2: Ras effector protein. May function as an upstream activator and/or downstream effector for RAB5B in endocytic pathway. May function as a guanine nucleotide exchange (GEF) of RAB5B, required for activating the RAB5 proteins by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Defects in RIN2 are the cause of MACS syndrome (MACS); also called macrocephaly alopecia cutis laxa and scoliosis syndrome. MACS is an autosomal-recessive inherited complex disorder of elastic tissue, characterized by sagging skin and occasionally by life-threatening visceral complications. Belongs to the RIN (Ras interaction/interference) family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
