Annotated paper:Mori Y, et al. "Small GTPase Rab17 regulates the surface expression of kainate receptors but not alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in hippocampal neurons via dendritic trafficking of Syntaxin-4 protein" J Biol Chem. 2014 Jul 25;289(30):20773-87 PMID:24895134
Figure(s):Figures 6, 7
Annotation description:Figure 3, 4: Rab17 co-localizes with Syntaxin-4 (STX4) in the soma, dendritic shaft, tip, and spine.

Figure 5,6: Rab17 is required for polarized trafficking of Syntaxin-4 to the dendrite.

Figure 2,7: Rab17 is required for surface expression of GluK2 (GRIK2) without affecting its trafficking.

Taken together, Rab17 was shown to transport Syntaxin-4 from cell soma to dendrites and postsynapses in mouse hippocampal neurons, thereby regulating surface expression of GluK2.
