gene geneOn this page
Summary
RAB28 (RAB28, member RAS oncogene family, HGNC:9768) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4p15.33, encoding Ras-related protein Rab-28 (P51157). The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes.
This gene encodes a member of the Rab subfamily of Ras-related small GTPases. The encoded protein may be involved in regulating intracellular trafficking. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 9 and X.

Function. The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different sets of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. RAB28 is required for shedding and phagocytosis of cone cell outer segments (OS) discs in the retina. Also participates in nuclear factor kappa-B p65/RELA nuclear transport in endothelial cells.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (prenylated form) with PDE6D; the interaction promotes RAB28 delivery to the photoreceptor outer segments. Interacts with KCNJ13; the interaction may facilitate cone outer segments phagocytosis. Interacts with RELA; the interaction contributes to RELA transport from cytoplasm to nucleus.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cilium basal body. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Isoform S is detected in most tissues investigated: cortex, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, testis, urothelium, lung, bone marrow and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Isoform L 2 is widely and abundantly expressed all tissues. Isoform 3 is highly expressed in heart, lung, bone marrow, retina, brain, and RPE.
Post-translational modifications. Isoprenylated.
Disease relevance. Cone-rod dystrophy 18 (CORD18) [MIM:615374] A form of cone-rod dystrophy, an inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa, due to cone photoreceptors degenerating at a higher rate than rod photoreceptors. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP. Regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) which increase the GTP hydrolysis activity. Inhibited by GDP dissociation inhibitors (GDIs).
Domain organisation. Switch I, switch II and the interswitch regions are characteristic of Rab GTPases and mediate the interactions with Rab downstream effectors. The switch regions undergo conformational changes upon nucleotide binding which drive interaction with specific sets of effector proteins, with most effectors only binding to GTP-bound Rab.
Similarity. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
