Rab11

Rab11 is a small protein, part of the Rab family, that functions as a molecular switch regulating the transport and recycling of materials within cells. Specifically, Rab11 directs the movement of cargo, like proteins and membranes, from recycling endosomes back to the cell surface or other areas, ensuring proper cell function and communication. It plays a key role in processes like nutrient uptake, receptor recycling, and cell division. By coordinating these transport routes, Rab11 helps maintain the cell's internal organization and supports healthy cellular activity.
