Gene: RAB34

Alternate names for this Gene: NARR|RAB39|RAH

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein belonging to the RAB family of proteins, which are small GTPases involved in protein transport. This family member is a Golgi-bound member of the secretory pathway that is involved in the repositioning of lysosomes and the activation of macropinocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. An alternatively spliced transcript variant produces the nine-amino acid residue-repeats (NARR) protein, which is a functionally distinct nucleolar protein resulting from a different reading frame.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2

Description of this Gene: RAB34, member RAS oncogene family

Type of Gene: protein-coding
