RABEP1 encodes Rabaptin-5, a key effector protein for Rab GTPases involved in endosomal trafficking. Rabaptin-5 plays essential roles in:
High expression in:
Subcellularly localizes to endosomal compartments.
Rabaptin-5 is essential for maintaining endosomal function, and its dysfunction contributes to protein aggregate accumulation in neurodegenerative diseases.
