Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Rabs are monomeric guanosine triphosphatases that regulate membrane trafficking and acid secretion in gastric parietal cells. Using a proteomics approach, we identified a new Rab, Rab27b, in tubulovesicle membranes and determined its role in parietal cell activation. METHODS: We used mass spectrometry (MS) to identify Rab27b in purified tubulovesicular membrane fractions and used immunoblot and...
