In vitro expression of NGN3 identifies RAB3B as the predominant Ras-associated GTP-binding protein 3 family member in human islets
Neurogenin 3 (NGN3) commits pancreatic progenitors to an islet cell fate.

RAB3B localized to the cytoplasm of human beta-cells, both during the fetal period and post-natally. Genes encoding alternative RAB3 proteins and RAB27A were unaltered by NGN3 expression and in human adult islets their transcripts were many fold less prevalent than those of RAB3B. The regulation of insulin exocytosis in rodent beta-cells and responsiveness to incretins is reliant upon Rab family members, notably Rab3a and Rab27a, but not Rab3b. Our results support an important inter-species difference in regulating insulin exocytosis where RAB3B is the most expressed isoform in human beta-cells

Abstract
Neurogenin 3 (NGN3) commits pancreatic progenitors to an islet cell fate. We induced NGN3 expression and identified up-regulation of the gene encoding the small molecular mass GTP-binding protein, RAB3B. RAB3B localized to the cytoplasm of human beta-cells, both during the fetal period and post-natally. Genes encoding alternative RAB3 proteins and RAB27A were unaltered by NGN3 expression and in human adult islets their transcripts were many fold less prevalent than those of RAB3B. The regulation of insulin exocytosis in rodent beta-cells and responsiveness to incretins is reliant upon Rab family members, notably Rab3a and Rab27a, but not Rab3b. Our results support an important inter-species difference in regulating insulin exocytosis where RAB3B is the most expressed isoform in human beta-cells
