Protein
Ras-related protein Rab-39A
Function
Plays a role in the maturation and acidification of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis. Plays a role in vesicular trafficking. Plays a role in the fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes. Negatively regulates LPS-induced autophagosome formation in macrophages possibly by implicating PI3K (PubMed:24349490). May be involved in multiple neurite formation (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
