Summary

RAB7 (RAB7, member RAS oncogene family) is a small GTPase critical for endolysosomal trafficking, autophagosome maturation, and lysosomal function. Mutations cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B. Dysfunction implicated in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.
