Function

Members of the Rab protein family are nontransforming monomeric GTP-binding proteins of the Ras superfamily that contain 4 highly conserved regions involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis. Rabs are prenylated, membrane-bound proteins involved in vesicular fusion and trafficking. The mammalian RAB proteins show striking similarities to the S. cerevisiae YPT1 and SEC4 proteins, Ras-related GTP-binding proteins involved in the regulation of secretion.[supplied by OMIM][5]

Interactions

RAB2A has been shown to interact with GOLGA2.[6][7]

gollark: Most modern things will.
gollark: It's part of a more complex system, but basically:- Lasers (from Plethora) were on ComputerCraft turtles (robot things), which could fire them in arbitrary directions- The turtles ran a program which connected to a relay-type service I run on my web server, which let them receive commands like "fire at this position" or "fire in this direction"- That relay service passed commands from clients to turtles and the results back to said clients- The Python script connected to the MC server's dynmap (popular service for web maps for Minecraft servers) web API, which, among other things, provides positions of players, and sent commands to fire at the reported position of players.
gollark: Which aren't particularly big, but somewhat useful.
gollark: I have random Python scripts for things I wanted to do at some point which computers could do more easily than I could, like a̦̾̋p͍̫̿p͊̃̇l̜̋̓y̱ͫ̃i̴̔ͫn̲̲͡g͎͏̈́ ̯͋̿r̫͢͡a̲͜͝n̦̽̄d͈̮̤o̻̳̭ṃ̱ͦ ̼͌͠d̵̼̗ǐ̡̕ȧ̰̫ċ̔ͯr̀͠͠ì̄ͥt͓̼͌î͚̘c̞͋̀s͓̬̦ to text, controlling a bunch of laser turrets I had on a Minecraft server over the internet, bulk-converting some music to a different format, and generating beepy noises.
gollark: Putting together simple scripts or whatever to do some random task more easily.
