Abstract excerpt
Primary cilia are microtubule-based solitary membrane projections on the cell surface that play important roles in signaling and development. Recent studies have demonstrated that polarized vesicular trafficking involving the small GTPase Rab8 and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor Rabin8 is essential for primary ciliogenesis. In this study, we show that a highly conserved region of Rabin8 is pivotal for its...
