RAB7L1 Antibody - #AF6778

The small GTPases Rab are key regulators in vesicle trafficking. Essential for maintaining the integrity of the endosome-trans-Golgi network structure (By similarity). Together with LRRK2, plays a role in the retrograde trafficking pathway for recycling proteins, such as mannose 6 phosphate receptor (M6PR), between lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus in a retromer-dependent manner. Recruits LRRK2 to the Golgi complex and stimulates LRRK2 kinase activity. Regulates neuronal process morphology in the intact central nervous system (CNS) (By similarity). May play a role in the formation of typhoid toxin transport intermediates during Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S.Typhi) epithelial cell infection.

In case of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S.Typhimurium) infection, is proteolytically cleaved between Gly-41 and Val-42 by the GtgE viral protease encoded on the Gifsy-2 lysogen bacteriophage, which therefore prevents the recruitment of RAB29 to S.Typhimurium-containing vacuoles. In contrast, no proteolytically cleavage is detected in S.Typhi-infected cells.

Note: Colocalizes with LRRK2 along tubular structures emerging from Golgi apparatus (PubMed:29212815). Colocalizes with GM130 at the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:22042847). Colocalizes with dynamic tubules emerging from and retracting to the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:22042847). Colocalizes with TGN46 at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (PubMed:24788816). In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S.Typhi) infected epithelial cells, is recruited and colocalized with both S.Typhi-containing vacuoles and dynamic tubules as well as those emerging from the vacuole toward the cell periphery (PubMed:22042847).

Ubiquitous.

Interacts with LRRK2.

Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
