rab3 is a small GTP-binding protein exclusively localized to synaptic vesicles.
Open accessAbstract
rab3, a low molecular weight GTP-binding protein, is primarily expressed in brain, where it is present in soluble and membrane-bound forms. Membrane-bound rab3 in brain is exclusively localized on synaptic vesicles, the secretory organelles of the synapse that store and release neurotransmitters. rab3 is also expressed in endocrine tissues such as the adrenal medulla, where it is found together with other synaptic vesicle proteins on microvesicles distinct from chromaffin granules. The tight binding of rab3 to membranes correlates with hydrophobic modifications that are different in the membrane-bound and soluble forms of rab3. The results demonstrate the exclusive targeting of a small GTP-binding protein to secretory vesicles of a subset of the regulated pathway of secretion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
