Function

PLEKHM1 may have critical function in vesicular transport in osteoclasts.[7]

PLEKHM1 contains a C-terminal Rubicon Homology (RH) domain, which mediates interaction with small GTPase Rab7.[8][9] This domain is shared with family RH domain containing family members Rubicon and Pacer, which are autophagy regulators.[10][11][9]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the PLEKHM1 gene are associated with osteopetrosis OPTB6.[7]
