Rab (Ras-related in brain) proteins form the largest section of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. The Rab family proteins regulate intracellular membrane trafficking processes including vesicle budding, tethering, and fusion. The isoforms Rab11a, Rab11b, and Rab11c/Rab25 constitute the Rab11 subfamily based on specific sequence motifs. {{cite journal |author=Bhartur SG, Calhoun BC, Woodrum J, ''et al.'' |title=Genomic structure of murine Rab11 family members |journal=Biochem.

==Clinical relevance==

Due to their crucial importance in vesicle transport and recycling, Rab11 proteins are linked to various non-pathogen or pathogen induced diseases. Most of the published data do not specify whether it is the a- or the b-isoform.
Rab11 proteins have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (14,15), Arthrogryposis-renal dysfunction-cholestasis (ARC) (16), Batten disease (17), and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Type 4C (CMT4C) (18).
Intracellular bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia trachomatis that replicate in membrane bound compartments hijack the trafficking machinery recruiting Rab GTPases to promote their replication within the host cell. Knock down of Rab11 decreased the formation of infectious particles (19–21).
Recent studies report a similar use of intracellular trafficking by Hantavirus and Influenza A virus. Replicated viruses benefit from Rab11 mediated recycling endosome pathway to exit the cell and infect surrounding tissue (22–25).
