Rab38s
Rab38 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rab family of proteins, which are involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. Rab38 is specifically implicated in the regulation of melanosome transport and maturation. Melanosomes are organelles responsible for the synthesis and storage of melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes.
Studies have shown that Rab38 plays a crucial role in the late stages of melanosome biogenesis. It
Research into Rab38 has primarily been conducted in model organisms such as mice and zebrafish, where mutations
