    basic FUNCTION
  • regulates retrograde membrane traffic from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus and from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
  • regulates vesicle trafficking at the level of Golgi via recruitment of numerous and unrelated effectors
  • key regulator in the retrograde transfer from endosomes via the Golgi to the ER
  • regulates distinct Golgi trafficking pathways involving two separate protein complexes: ZW10/RINT1 and COG
  • implicated in dynein-mediated vesicle movement at the Golgi apparatus and interact with a plethora of effector proteins
  • RAB1A and RAB6A may be involved in the regulation of the retinal adaptation
  • RAB33B/RAB6A regulated intra-Golgi retrograde trafficking pathway must coexist with other Golgi trafficking pathways
  • important role during neuritogenesis
  • RAB6A/RAB6B is a conserved small GTPase that localizes to the Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic vesicles and controls transport and fusion of secretory carriers
  • RAB6A, RAB8A, and MICAL3 cooperate in controlling docking and fusion of exocytotic carriers
  • is involved in the trafficking of vesicles at the level of Golgi via interactions with numerous effector proteins

  • RAB6KIFL
  • NSF
  • DYNLRB1 specifically interacts with all three RAB6 isoforms and co-localises at the Golgi
  • RAB33B and RAB6A act to coordinate a major intra-Golgi retrograde trafficking pathway
  • DENND5A/DENND5B interacting with RAB6A/RAB6B
  • KIF1C transports RAB6A-vesicles and can influence Golgi complex organization
  • RAB6A binding to KIF1C motor domain represents an entirely new mode of regulation for a kinesin motor, and likely has important consequences for KIF1C cellular functions
