Disease:Defects in RAB3GAP1 are the cause of Warburg micro syndrome 1 (WARBM1) [MIM:600118]. WARBM1 is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities of the eye and central nervous system and by microgenitalia.,Function:Probable catalytic subunit of a GTPase activating protein that has specificity for Rab3 subfamily (RAB3A, RAB3B, RAB3C and RAB3D). Rab3 proteins are involved in regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitters and hormones. Specifically converts active Rab3-GTP to the inactive form Rab3-GDP. Required for normal eye and brain development. May participate in neurodevelopmental processes such as proliferation, migration and differentiation before synapse formation, and non-synaptic vesicular release of neurotransmitters.,similarity:Belongs to the Rab3-GAP catalytic subunit family.,subcellular location:In neurons, it is enriched in the synaptic soluble fraction.,subunit:The Rab3 GTPase-activating complex is a heterodimer composed of RAB3GAP and RAB3-GAP150. The Rab3 GTPase-activating complex interacts with DMXL2.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.,
