Description
Description
The Rab family are members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Rabs regulate vesicle trafficking including cargo selection, vesicle budding, transport, docking and targeting. They localize to different intracellular compartments directed by specific isoprenylation of C-terminal motifs. (Adapted from PMID:15731001).
