Abstract excerpt
Rab3 GTPase-activating protein 1 (Rab3gap1) hydrolyzes GTP on Rab3 to inactivate it and reinitiate the Rab3 cycle, which regulates exocytic release of neuropeptides and hormones from neuroendocrine cells and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion by cardiomyocytes. Cysteine palmitoylation of Rab3gap1 by the Golgi-localized S-acyltransferase zDHHC9 was recently shown to hinder ANP release by impairing...
