Rab5 (source code)
= Rab5
{c}
A Rab-family regulator associated with early endosomal membrane domains.
Active <Rab5> recruits partners that organize early <endosomes> and <membrane fusion>. Replacement of Rab5-associated identity by <Rab7>-associated identity helps connect early uptake with later degradative trafficking, rather than requiring each <endosome> to retain one permanent molecular label. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 3, 6 and 15, protein function, translation and cell signalling]{ref}
