Ras-related protein Rab-23 (RAB23)
The protein contains 237 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 26659 Da.
The small GTPases Rab are key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, from the formation of transport vesicles to their fusion with membranes. Rabs cycle between an inactive GDP-bound form and an active GTP-bound form that is able to recruit to membranes different set of downstream effectors directly responsible for vesicle formation, movement, tethering and fusion. Together with SUFU, prevents nuclear import of GLI1, and thereby inhibits GLI1 transcription factor activity. Regulates GLI1 in differentiating chondrocytes. Likewise, regulates GLI3 proteolytic processing and modulates GLI2 and GLI3 transcription factor activity. Plays a role in autophagic vacuole assembly, and mediates defense against pathogens, such as S.aureus, by promoting their capture by autophagosomes that then merge with lysosomes.

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that Carpenter syndrome-1 (CRPT1) is caused by homozygous mutation in the RAB23 gene (606144) on chromosome 6p11.
DESCRIPTION
Carpenter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with the cardinal features of acrocephaly with variable synostosis of the sagittal, lambdoid, and coronal sutures; peculiar facies; brachydactyly of the hands with syndactyly; preaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the feet; congenital heart defects; growth retardation; mental retardation; hypogenitalism; and obesity. In addition, cerebral malformations, oral and dental abnormalities, coxa valga, genu valgum, hydronephrosis, precocious puberty, and hearing loss may be observed (summary by Altunhan et al., 2011). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Carpenter Syndrome Carpenter syndrome-2 (CRPT2; 614976), in which the features of Carpenter syndrome are sometimes associated with defective lateralization, is caused by mutation in the MEGF8 gene (604267).CLINICAL FEATURES
Carpenter (1909) described 2 sisters and a brother with acrocephaly, peculiar facies, brachydactyly, and syndactyly in the hands, and preaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the toes. Temtamy (1966) could find 9 other reported cases and added one. In older patients obesity, mental retardation, and hypogonadism had been noted. In all cases the parents have been normal. Parental consanguinity was suspected in 1 case. The case of acrocephalosyndactyly with foot polydactyly reported by Owen (1952) probably represented Carpenter syndrome, as do the sibs reported by Schonenberg and Scheidhauer (1966). One patient thought to have this condition by Palacios and Schimke (1969) was 49 years old. Eaton et al. (1974) reported affected sibs. Cohen et al. (1987) described 2 affected sibs showing marked intrafamilial variability. This experience and a review of the literature suggested that the Goodman syndrome (201020) and the Summitt syndrome (272350) fall well within the clinical spectrum of the Carpenter syndrome. Gershoni-Baruch (1990) described a brother and sister with rather striking differences in severity. The first born had craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture, normal intelligence, and no abnormalities of the hands and feet. The second born sib had polysyndactyly of hands and feet, normal intelligence, and no craniosynostosis. Gershoni-Baruch (1990) suggested that polysyndactyly is not an absolute requisite for the diagnosis of Carpenter syndrome and that the Summitt and Goodman syndromes are 'within the clinical spectrum' of Carpenter syndrome, as suggested by Cohen et al. (1987). Alessandri et al. (2010) described 4 boys with Carpenter syndrome from a consanguineous Comoros Islands pedigree. All 4 boys presented with acrocephaly and polysyndactyly, but displayed variable severity of craniosynostosis ranging from cloverleaf skull to predominant involvement of the metopic ridge (turricephaly). All of the children also had a combination of brachydactyly with agenesis of the middle phalanges, syndactyly, broad thumbs, and postaxial polydactyly in the hands, with preaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the toes. Mental development was normal in all; brain imaging showed hydrocephalus in 2 of the 4 boys. Additional features included corneal anomaly in 2, cryptorchidism in 3, umbilical hernia in 1, genu valgum in 2, umbilical hernia in 1, severe kyphoscoliosis in 1, patent ductus arteriosus in 1, and accessory spleen in 1.
