    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the Ras-related small GTPases, which regulate membrane trafficking in organelles and transport vesicles. This protein is expressed predominantly in lipid droplets, organelles that store neutral lipids, and is proposed to play a role in lipolysis and lipogenesis. In humans mutations in this gene are associated with Warburg micro syndrome type 3. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
