RABGEF1 forms a complex with rabaptin-5 (RABPT5; MIM 603616) that is required for endocytic membrane fusion, and it serves as a specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAB5 (RAB5A; MIM 179512) (Horiuchi et al., 1997 [PubMed 9323142]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2010],

Function:
Function:Rab effector protein acting as linker between gamma-adaptin, RAB4A or RAB5A. Involved in endocytic membrane fusion and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes. Stimulates nucleotide exchange on RAB5A. Can act as a ubiquitin ligase.,PTM:Monoubiquitinated.,similarity:Contains 1 A20-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 VPS9 domain.,subunit:Heterodimer with RABEP1. The heterodimer binds RAB4A and RAB5A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Interacts with RAB21, and with 100-fold lower affinity also with RAB22. Binds TSC2, GGA1, GGA2, GGA3, AP1G1 and AP1G2. Interacts with ubiquitinated EGFR.,
