The Ras oncogene family, whose members include Rab 5B and Rab 5C, encode membrane-associated small G proteins that are regulated, in part, by the activity of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). The RIN family of Ras interaction-interference proteins (namely RIN1, RIN2, RIN3 and RIN4) comprise a group of Rab 5 binding partners that interact with and control Rab 5 function. RIN3 (Ras and Rab interactor 3) is a 984 amino acid member of the RIN family and is thought to associate with Rab 5B and function as a GEF, exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Expressed throughout the body, RIN3 is a cytoplasmic protein that contains one VPS9 domain, one SH2 domain and one Ras-associating domain. In addition to its probable role as a Rab 5B-associated GEF, RIN3 is thought to participate in intracellular transport between the plasma membrane and early endosomes. Four isoforms of RIN3 exist due to alternative splicing events.
