ID:RAB5B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ras-related protein Rab-5B; FUNCTION: Protein transport. Probably involved in vesicular traffic (By similarity). ENZYME REGULATION: Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. SUBUNIT: Binds EEA1. Interacts with RIN2 and RIN3, which probably regulate its pathway, possibly by acting as GEFs. INTERACTION: Q15075:EEA1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-399401, EBI-298113; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Early endosome membrane; Lipid-anchor. Melanosome. Note=Enriched in stage I melanosomes. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAH40143.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

[PubMed 18198356]
We have discovered a type 1 diabetes locus at 12q13 that is replicated in an independent cohort of type 1 diabetic patients and confers a type 1 diabetes risk comparable with that of the 16p13 locus we recently reported.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
