Recombinant Human RAB5A

Background

RAB5A, member RAS oncogene family (RAB5A) is another member of the RAB family of small GTPases, playing a crucial role in regulating early endosome dynamics and vesicular trafficking RAB5A is involved in the initiation of endocytosis, controlling the fusion of early endosomes and the processing of internalized material It is essential for receptor-mediated endocytosis, where it helps sort and direct cargo for degradation or recycling within the cell RAB5A also participates in the regulation of cell signaling, including receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, and is involved in maintaining cellular communication and response to external signals Dysregulation of RAB5A activity has been linked to a variety of disorders, including cancer, where aberrant endosomal trafficking can influence tumor progression and metastasis Additionally, RAB5A plays a role in immune responses and the trafficking of immune receptors, further highlighting its importance in both normal cellular processes and disease pathogenesis
