Abstract excerpt
Rab proteins of the small G-protein superfamily are known to be involved in intracellular vesicle transport. Here, we describe the unique characteristics of a novel Rab protein, RABRP1 (Rab-Related Protein 1). The Drosophila RabRP1 gene is mainly transcribed in the eyes and testes, where the 3-kb and 1.5-kb mRNAs, respectively, are the predominant gene products. The amino-acid sequence deduced from the longer...
