Rab39Bn
Rab39Bn is a protein that belongs to the Rab family, which are small GTPases involved in various cellular processes such as vesicle trafficking, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Rab39Bn is specifically expressed in neurons and plays a crucial role in the regulation of synaptic vesicle recycling. It is localized to the presynaptic terminals of neurons, where it interacts with other proteins involved in synaptic transmission.
Rab39Bn is encoded by the RAB39B gene, which is located on chromosome 17 in humans. The gene
Mutations in the RAB39B gene have been linked to several neurological disorders, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type
In summary, Rab39Bn is a neuron-specific Rab protein that regulates synaptic vesicle recycling and is involved
