Research Abstract

It has been reported that several members of the Rab family small GTPases, which are key mediators of membrane trafficking, regulate axon-specific trafficking events, but little has been elucidated regarding the molecular mechanisms that underlie dendrite-specific membrane trafficking. We showed that Rab17 regulates dendritic morphogenesis and postsynaptic development in mouse hippocampal neurons.
