| Function |
Positively regulates autophagy through a calcium- dependent activation of the CaMKK/AMPK signaling pathway. The process involves activation of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) receptors, increase in lysosomal pH, and calcium release from lysosomes. Together with RAB29, plays a role in the retrograde trafficking pathway for recycling proteins, such as mannose 6 phosphate receptor (M6PR), between lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus in a retromer-dependent manner. Regulates neuronal process morphology in the intact central nervous system (CNS). Phosphorylates PRDX3. Has GTPase activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5S007}.

| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the brain (at protein level). Detected throughout the adult brain. Expressed in deep cerebral cortex layers, superficial cingulate cortex layers, the piriform cortex, hippocampal formation, caudate putamen, substantia nigra, the basolateral and basomedial anterior amygdala nuclei, reticular thalamic nucleus and also in the cerebellar granular cell layer. Highly expressed in the striatum, cortex and olfactory tubercle. Little or no expression in the substantia nigra, where dopaminergic neurons preferentially degenerate in Parkinson disease. Expression is particularly high in brain dopaminoceptive areas. High and strikingly specific expression in striatum and parts of cortex and no signals in dopamine neurons. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16487147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16504409, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16532471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17120249}.
