| Short Name | Rab14 |
| description | Ras-related protein Rab14 is a small GTPase that mediates endocytic recycling and functions in phagosome maturation [, ]. Rab14 and its exchange factor FAM116 regulates the specific endocytic transport of ADAM10 and thereby N-cadherin shedding and cell motility [, ]. Rab14 regulates claudin-2 trafficking, which is required for epithelial morphogenesis []. It regulates apical targeting in polarised epithelial cells []. Rab14 also regulates the interaction of phagosomes with early endocytic compartments and the maturation of macrophage phagosomes containing the fungal pathogen Candida albicans []. Drosophila Rab14 mediates phagocytosis in the immune response to Staphylococcus aureus []. |
