Vesicle transport: more work for the Rabs?

Curr Biol. 1998 Mar 12;8(6):R199-201. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(98)70124-1.

Abstract

The Rab family of small GTP-binding proteins has long been implicated in the docking and fusion of transport vesicles with their target membranes. Recent evidence, however, suggests that some Rabs may play an additional role in transport vesicle formation.
