rab-37 encodes a member of the Rab subfamily of Ras small GTP-binding proteins that is related to human Rab37 and Rab26; a rab-37 reporter fusion is reportedly expressed in head and tail neurons.
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of exocytosis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endosome. Expressed in head neurons and tail neurons. Is an ortholog of human RAB26 (RAB26, member RAS oncogene family) and RAB37 (RAB37, member RAS oncogene family).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
