    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in small GTPase mediated signal transduction, intracellular protein transport
  • may be involved in vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release
  • GTPase probably participating in intracellular trafficking events at the site of the adherens junction
  • participates in adherens junction dynamics in the testis
  • both RAB8A and RAB8B are important for ciliation in RPE cells
  • RAB8A and RAB8B are recruited by RAB11A after serum starvation for transport to the pericentriolar compartment
  • compensatory effect of RAB8A and RAB8B in apical transport, and neither RAB8A nor RAB8B are required for basolateral and/or dendritic transport
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • RAB8b/otoferlin complexes may thus play a role within the recycling of endosomes
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • with PEX5L (requires a guanine nucleotide but not prenylation for its interaction with PEX5L)
  • interacting with OTOF (interaction links otoferlin to this basolateral endocytic and secretory trafficking)
  • RAB3IL1 is a dual RAB-binding protein that could potentially link RAB3A and RAB11A/RAB11B and/or RAB8A/RAB8B and RAB11-mediated intracellular trafficking processes
