Ras-Related GTP Binding B is a protein encoded by the RRAGB gene. This gene/protein plays important roles in various cellular processes. Additional research continues to elucidate its specific functions in the nervous system and its potential involvement in neurodegenerative diseases.
RRAGB (also known as RagB) encodes another member of the Rag GTPase family that partners with RRAGA to form functional heterodimers. Like RRAGA, RRAGB is involved in recruiting mTORC1 to lysosomes in response to amino acid availability. The RagA/B heterodimers sense amino acid levels and regulate mTORC1 activation.
In neurons, RRAGB plays important roles in regulating neuronal protein synthesis, autophagy, and synaptic plasticity through mTORC1 signaling.
Expressed in most tissues with high expression in brain. In neurons, involved in activity-dependent translational regulation.
| Disease | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Neurodegeneration | Dysregulated mTORC1 signaling |
| X-linked Mental Retardation | Impaired synaptic plasticity |
