Summary

This gene encodes a protein with a TBC (Tre-2/Bub2/CDC16) domain. Some mammalian proteins with this domain have been shown to function as Rab-GAPs by binding to specific Rab proteins and affecting their GTPase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the TBC1D8B mRNA showed increased expression in platelets from patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to those with non-STEMI [Eicher et al. DOI:10.3109/09537104.2015.1083543].
