RAB7B

Ras-related protein Rab-7b is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB7B gene.

Function
Rab7 is a small is_associated_with::GTPase that plays a role in the transport and degradation of proteins in is_associated_with::endosomes and is_associated_with::lysosomes in mammalian cells. Rab7b, is localized to lysosome-associated compartments and is selectively expressed in monocytic cells. By promoting the degradation of toll-like receptor 4, RAB7B can negatively regulate the inflammatory activation of macrophages.
