Protein attributes

Sequence length	211 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May be involved in melanosomal transport and docking. Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1.
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side Potential. Melanosome Ref.5 Ref.6.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in melanocytes.
Post-translational modification	Although at least one in vitro system can process and methylate the prenylated C-terminal, in an in vitro system that normally express Rab-38 and in vivo the prenylated C-terminal is not proteolytically processed and not methylated.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
