Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP)

Rab effector playing a role in late endocytic transport to degradative compartments. Involved in the regulation of lysosomal morphology and distribution.

Induces recruiting of dynein-dynactin motor complexes to Rab7A-containing late endosome and lysosome compartments. Promotes centripetal migration of phagosomes along with the fusion of phagosomes with the late endosomes and lysosomes.
