RILP Polyclonal Antibody

function:Rab effector playing a role in late endocytic transport to degradative compartments. Involved in the regulation of lysosomal morphology and distribution. Induces recruitment of dynein-dynactin motor complexes to Rab7-containing late endosome and lysosome compartments. Promotes centripetal migration of phagosomes and the fusion of phagosomes with the late endosomes and lysosomes.,similarity:Contains 1 RILP-like domain.,subcellular location:Associated with late endosomal, lysosomal and phagosomal membranes. The interaction with RAB7 is necessary for its recruitment to phagosomes.,subunit:Homodimer. Each subunit can interact with either RAB7 or RAB34.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Strongly expressed in fetal heart, heart, stomach, spleen, adrenal gland, thyroid gland, salivary gland, fetal liver, liver and lung. Poorly expressed in brain.,
