Function. Probable RAB GTPase-activating protein that inhibits RAB8A/B function. Reduces Rab8 recruitment to tubules emanating from the endocytic recycling compartment (ERC) and inhibits Rab8-mediated endocytic trafficking, such as that of transferrin receptor (TfR). Involved in regulation of autophagy.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with OPTN; this interaction mediates TBC1D17 transient association with Rab8.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Autophagosome. Cytoplasm. Recycling endosome.

Domain organisation. The arginine and glutamine fingers are critical for the GTPase-activating mechanism, they pull out Rab’s ‘switch 2’ glutamine and insert in Rab’s active site.
