Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionrab-8 encodes a rab related protein of the Ras GTPase superfamily; RAB-8 functions in sensory neurons in a common ciliary membrane trafficking pathway and in intestinal cells to regulated protein trafficking to the apical plasma membrane; rab-8 also affects ovarian morphology and function, thereby affecting fertility; rab-8 acts downstream of let-60 with respect to vulval development based on genetic analysis; RAB-8 reporter fusion proteins localize to trafficking vesicles in sensory neurons and to the apical membrane and sub-apical structures in the intestine.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004697

Automated_descriptionEnables GTPase activating protein binding activity and ankyrin repeat binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic genitalia morphogenesis; negative regulation of 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate biosynthetic process; and protein secretion. Located in apical part of cell and cytoplasmic vesicle. Expressed in body wall musculature. Is an ortholog of human RAB8B (RAB8B, member RAS oncogene family).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from [Kuwabara PE]
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.CGC_data_submission
