The C-terminus of Rab proteins varies in length and sequence and is referred to as hypervariable. Thus Rab proteins do not have a consensus sequence, such as the CAAX box, which the Rab geranylgeranyl transferase can recognize. The Rab proteins usually terminate in a CC or CXC motif. Instead, Rab proteins are bound by the <a href="/wiki/Rab_escort_protein" class="mw-redirect" title="Rab escort protein">Rab escort protein</a> (REP) over a more conserved region of the Rab protein and then presented to the Rab geranylgeranyltransferase. Once Rab proteins are prenylated, the lipid anchor(s) ensure that Rabs are no longer soluble. REP, therefore, plays an important role in binding and solubilising the geranylgeranyl groups and delivers the Rab protein to the relevant cell membrane. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Substrates">Substrates</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prenylation&amp;action=edit&amp;section=5" title="Edit section: Substrates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Both isoprenoid chains, <a href="/wiki/Geranylgeranyl_pyrophosphate" title="Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate">geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate</a> (GGpp) and <a href="/wiki/Farnesyl_pyrophosphate" title="Farnesyl pyrophosphate">farnesyl pyrophosphate</a> are products of the <a href="/wiki/HMG-CoA_reductase_pathway" class="mw-redirect" title="HMG-CoA reductase pathway">HMG-CoA reductase pathway</a>.
