Description
Abstract
Rab family small GTPases play essential
roles in various cellular events via the regulation of
intracellular logistics comprising a large number of
membrane traffic pathways. Emerging evidence reveals
the physiological roles of Rab proteins in several tissues,
including developing brains. Many Rab proteins, such as
Rab5, Rab6, Rab7, Rab8, Rab10, Rab11, Rab17 and
Rab18, are shown to regulate neurite outgrowth in PC12
cells and/or axon and dendrite formation in primary
cultured neurons. Recent studies have also revealed in
vivo roles of several Rab family small GTPases in brain
development and its related neurological disorders. In
this review, we introduce the physiological function of
Rab family proteins in neural development with
particular focus on neurite outgrowth and neuronal
migration.
