Rab7 (source code)

= Rab7
{c}

A Rab-family regulator associated with late endosomal and degradative trafficking.

Its effectors help connect late <endosomes> to movement, targeting and fusion with degradative compartments. The transition from <Rab5> to <Rab7> illustrates maturation of membrane identity; a static marker image captures a state rather than the whole trafficking history. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 3, 6 and 15, protein function, translation and cell signalling]{ref}
