Immunopharmacology Comments
Small molecule inhibitors of Rab27a-JFC1 binding, termed Nexinhibs (neutrophil exocytosis inhibitors) demonstrate the druggability of Rab GTPases and inhibition of exocytosis of azurophilic granules in human neutrophils without affecting other important innate immune responses, including phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular trap production. These thus have potential use as an inhibitor of systemic inflammation [4].
Cell Type Associations
Immuno Cell Type:  Granulocytes
Cell Ontology Term:   neutrophil (CL:0000775)
Comment:  RAB27A and its effector JFC1 (synaptotagmin like 1) act to regulate neutrophil exocytosis.

Disease:  Griscelli syndrome, type 2
Description: Hypomelanosis with immunologic abnormalities with or without neurologic impairment, is caused by mutation in the RAB27A gene (MIM 603868).
