RAB34
Description
The RAB34 (RAB34, member RAS oncogene family) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.
RAB34 is a protein encoded by the RAB34 gene in humans. It is a Ras-related protein.
RAB34 is a transport protein involved in the redistribution of lysosomes to the peri-Golgi region. It plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis. RAB34 is also involved in the fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes. It plays a role in ciliogenesis and acts as a positive regulator of hedgehog signaling. It also regulates ciliary function.
RAB34 is also known as NARR, OFD20, RAB39, RAH.
