RILP Antibody

RILP Antibody: The Rab interacting lysosomal protein (RILP) is lysosomal protein that interacts with RAB7, a small GTPase that controls transport to endocytic degradative compartments. It is thought that RILP is a downstream effector of RAB7 and both proteins act together in the regulation of late endocytic traffic. Overexpression of RILP caused enlarged lysosomes that are more centrally located in the cell suggesting that RILP may also be involved in the regulation of lysosomal morphology. Other evidence suggests that RILP may play a role in the biogenesis of multivesicular bodies.
