RAB24 is a member of the small GTPase superfamily which regulates intracellular protein transferring， nonetheless the specific role of RAB24 has not yet been revealed. RAB24 is distributed in the endoplasmic reticulum/cis-Golgi region and on late endosomal structures which suggests connection to autophagy-related courses. RAB24 demonstrates uncommon characteristics such as low intrinsic GTPase activity， and is incompetently prenylated when compared with other Rab proteins indicates that RAB24 has a distinctive part in the degradation of misfolded cellular proteins or trafficking of proteins to the nuclear envelope.
