    Summary
    Predicted to enable GTPase activity and myosin V binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholinergic synaptic transmission; positive regulation of anterior/posterior axon guidance; and ventral cord development. Located in neuron projection and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in nervous system and uv1. Used to study alcohol use disorder and epilepsy. Orthologous to several human genes including RAB3A (RAB3A, member RAS oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
