Description: Homo sapiens RAB6A, member RAS oncogene family (RAB6A), transcript variant 2, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_198896): This gene encodes a member of the RAB family, which belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. GTPases of the RAB family bind to various effectors to regulate the targeting and fusion of transport carriers to acceptor compartments. This protein is located at the Golgi apparatus, which regulates trafficking in both a retrograde (from early endosomes and Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum) and an anterograde (from the Golgi to the plasma membrane) directions. Myosin II is an effector of this protein in these processes. This protein is also involved in assembly of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) by interacting with the cellular protein Bicaudal D1, which interacts with the HCMV virion tegument protein, pp150. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011].

ID:RAB6A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ras-related protein Rab-6A; Short=Rab-6; FUNCTION: Protein transport. Regulator of membrane traffic from the Golgi apparatus towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Has a low GTPase activity. SUBUNIT: Interacts with CCDC64; leads to its accumulation in the pericentrosomal region (By similarity). Interacts with SCYL1BP1. Interacts with VSP52 and RABGAP1. Interacts with GCC2 (via its GRIP domain). Interacts with RAB6IP1 (via its RUN 1 domain). Isoform 1 interacts with RAB6KIFL. Isoform 2 does not interact with RAB6KIFL. Isoform 1 interacts with BICD1. Isoform 2 interacts with BICD1. Isoform 1 interacts with BICD2. Isoform 2 interacts with BICD2. Interacts with TMF1. Isoform 1 (GTP-bound) interacts with DYNLRB1; the interaction is direct. Isoform 2 (GDP-bound) interacts with DYNLRB1; the interaction is direct. Interacts with PIFO. INTERACTION: Q8IWJ2:GCC2; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-1052826, EBI-1645320; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus membrane; Lipid-anchor. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
