Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rab5 GTPase. Regulates the ALS2-mediated endosome dynamics (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:15388334, ECO:0000269PubMed:17239822}. Note=Distributed onto the vesicular compartments in the cytoplasm with strong punctated staining. Colocalizes with RAB5A onto the vesicular/membranous compartments in the cytoplasm, particularly to the leading edges of the cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in heart, lung, liver and kidney. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15388334}.
