RAB40C

protein-coding

RAB40C, member RAS oncogene family, the group of RAB, member RAS oncogene GTPases

Gene summary

Enables G protein activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including lipid droplet formation; negative regulation of focal adhesion assembly; and proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in Golgi membrane; cytosol; and lipid droplet. Part of Cul5-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_021168.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
