FAMILY
  • RAS GTPase superfamily
  • Rab family
  • CATEGORY receptor membrane G
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • may be a subtelomeric gene (Wong 1999)
  • essential role for RABL2A, RABL2B in male fertility and a previously uncharacterised mechanism for protein delivery to the flagellum
  • RABL2A, RABL2B, are an essential requirement for sperm tail assembly and function
  • importance of RABL2A, RABL2B and mitochondrial dynamics in hepatic fatty acid oxidation and in the achievement of metabolic balance
  • RABL2A, RABL2B plays an important role in trafficking of ciliary G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) at the ciliary base in mammalian cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
    GTP
    protein
  • within developing haploid germ cells RABL2 interacts with intra-flagella transport (IFT) proteins and delivers a specific set of effector (cargo) proteins, including key members of the glycolytic pathway, to the sperm tail
  • RABL2A, RABL2B recruitment to the mother centriole is dependent on the distal appendage proteins CEP164 and CEP83
