Synthetic peptides of the effector-binding domain of rab enhance secretion from digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells [PDF]
There is evidence that the rab class of low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins is involved in vesicular transfer from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi and between Golgi cisternae. To determine whether similar proteins play a role in regulated exocytosis,

Specific Rab GTPase-activating proteins define the Shiga toxin and epidermal growth factor uptake pathways [PDF]
Rab family guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) together with their regulators define specific pathways of membrane traffic within eukaryotic cells. In this study, we have investigated which Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) can interfere with the ...

Insulin regulates Rab3-Noc2 complex dissociation to promote GLUT4 translocation in rat adipocytes. [PDF]
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The glucose transporter GLUT4 is present mainly in insulin-responsive tissues of fat, heart and skeletal muscle and is translocated from intracellular membrane compartments to the plasma membrane (PM) upon insulin stimulation.

Human Golgi phosphoprotein 3 is an effector of RAB1A and RAB1B.
Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a peripheral membrane protein localized at the trans-Golgi network that is also distributed in a large cytosolic pool.

The casein kinases Yck1p and Yck2p act in the secretory pathway, in part, by regulating the Rab exchange factor Sec2p. [PDF]
Sec2p is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activates Sec4p, the final Rab GTPase of the yeast secretory pathway. Sec2p is recruited to secretory vesicles by the upstream Rab Ypt32p acting in concert with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P).

A Rab10:RalA G protein cascade regulates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes. [PDF]
Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in fat and muscle is mediated by the major facilitative glucose transporter Glut4. Insulin controls the trafficking of Glut4 to the plasma membrane via regulation of a series of small G proteins, including RalA and Rab10.

Topological and functional properties of the small GTPases protein interaction network. [PDF]
Small GTP binding proteins of the Ras superfamily (Ras, Rho, Rab, Arf, and Ran) regulate key cellular processes such as signal transduction, cell proliferation, cell motility, and vesicle transport.

Pathogenic LRRK2 regulates centrosome cohesion via Rab10/RILPL1-mediated CDK5RAP2 displacement
Summary: Mutations in LRRK2 increase its kinase activity and cause Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 phosphorylates a subset of Rab proteins which allows for their binding to RILPL1.
