Facts about Ras-related protein Rab-21.
During the mitosis of adherent cells, controls the endosomal trafficking of integrins that's required for the successful completion of cytokinesis (PubMed:18804435). Involved in neurite growth (By similarity).

Widely expressed. In jejunal tissue, predominantly expressed in the apical region of the epithelial cell layer of the villi, weak expression, if any, in the crypt epithelium. Capillary endothelium and some cell types in the lamina propria also show expression.
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Lipid-anchor. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Golgi apparatus membrane. Early endosome membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Cleavage furrow. Cell projection, neuron projection. Colocalizes with ANKRD27 and VAMP7 in neurites (By similarity). In nonpolarized epithelial Caco-2 cells, found in the endoplasmic reticulum; in polarized cells, observed in vesicles in the apical cytoplasm (PubMed:10887961). During mitosis, in mid-telophase, localized in the ingressing cleavage furrow (PubMed:18804435). In late telophase, detected at the opposite poles of the dau
