Gene

Public Gene Name

rab-3  

Sequence Name

C18A3.6  

WB ID

WBGene00004267  

Description

rab-3 encodes a rab3 homolog, a member of the Ras GTPase superfamily, and affects sensitivity to aldicarb and the distribution of synaptic vesicle populations and thereby affects synaptic transmission, track amplitude and speed of movement, chemotaxis to isoamyl alcohol, affects pharyngeal pump durations, and may only slightly affect male mating behavior; requires aex-3 for localization to synapse-rich regions in axons and it is expressed in most or all neurons.
