Rab family GTPase; required for endosome-to-Golgii, intra-Golgi retrograde, and retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport; temporarily at the Golgi, dissociating into the cytosol on arrival of the late Golgi GTPase Ypt32p; Golgi-localized form is GTP bound, while cytosolic form is GDP-bound; required for delivery of Atg9p to the phagophore assembly site during autophagy under heat stress, with Ypt6p for starvation induced autophagy and for the CVT pathway; homolog of mammalian Rab6 [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004252]
