Types of Rab Proteins
There are approximately 70 different Rabs that have been identified in humans thus far. They are mostly involved in vesicle trafficking. Their complexity can be understood if thought of as address labels for vesicle trafficking, defining the identity and routing of vesicles.
| Name | Subcellular location |
|---|---|
| RAB1 (YPT1) | ER, golgi complex |
| RAB2 | ER, cis-golgi network |
| RAB3A | secretory and synaptic vesicles |
| RAB4 | early endosomes |
| RAB5A | clathrin-coated vesicles, plasma membranes |
| RAB5C | early endosomes |
| RAB6 | medial- and trans-golgi network |
| RAB7 | late endosomes |
| RAB8 | basolateral secretory vesicles |
| RAB9 | late endosome, trans-golgi network |
| RAB11 | recycling endosomes |
| RAB18 | lipid droplets, golgi, endoplasmic reticulum |
| RAB39a | binds Caspase-1 in inflammasome |
| SEC4 | secretory vesicles |

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or proteins:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
