Summary: Enables GTP-dependent protein binding activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; secretion by cell; and synaptic vesicle clustering. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; maintenance of presynaptic active zone structure; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; presynaptic active zone; and terminal bouton. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain and inner ear. Orthologous to human RAB3A (RAB3A, member RAS oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
