RUFY3 — RUN and FYVE domain containing 3

RUFY3 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

About the gene

Function

ARL8 effector that promotes the coupling of endolysosomes to dynein-dynactin for retrograde transport along microtubules. Acts by binding both GTP-bound ARL8 and dynein-dynactin. In nonneuronal cells, promotes concentration of endolysosomes in the juxtanuclear area. In hippocampal neurons, drives retrograde transport of endolysosomes from the axon to the soma. Plays a role in the generation of neuronal polarity formation and axon growth (By similarity). Implicated in the formation of a single axon by developing neurons (By similarity). May inhibit the formation of additional axons by inhibition of PI3K in minor neuronal processes (By similarity). Plays a role in the formation of F-actin-enriched protrusive structures at the cell periphery. Plays a role in cytoskeletal organization by regulating the subcellular localization of FSCN1 and DBN1 at axonal growth cones (By similarity).
