Description

Exhibits Rab geranylgeranyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; iridophore differentiation; and sensory organ development. Predicted to localize to Rab-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex; cytosol; and nucleus. Used to study choroideremia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choroideremia. Orthologous to human CHM (CHM Rab escort protein).
