Studies in C. elegans suggest that the small Rab GTPase RAB-7 and the Rab-GTPase-activating protein RBG-3 are involved in a tub-1/tubby mediated endocytic pathway that increases fat storage; tub-1/tubby is a gene involved in obesity across species; tub-1 also interacts with RBG-3 in ciliated neurons to possibly modulate neurohormonal and chemosensory function in the regulation of fat storage.
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.
