RAP6 is the abbreviation for Rab5-activating protein 6, a novel endosomal protein with a role in endocytosis. RAP6 was discovered by Alejandro Barbieri and his group of researchers (Christine Hunker, Adriana Galvis, Ivan Kruk, Hugo Giambini, Lina Torres and Maria Luisa Veisaga) working at Florida International University.[1]

This novel human protein has been reported to be involved in membrane trafficking. It has been shown that RAP6 has a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity specific to Rab5 and a GTPase activating protein (GAP) activity specific to RAS.[1]

The original GeneBank Identifications (GIs) have been published in the NCBI Nucleotide databases with GIs 77176718 and 77176720. Since then, many names have been coined to the validated protein such as RabGEF1, GeneID: 27342[2]. RAP6 belongs to the family of the GAPVD1, GeneID: 26130

RIP U

by: Lunachicks

I'm a psychotic, neurotic
a regular Frankenstein
I got worms in my head
and there eating up my mind
I'm a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic
psychopathic mongoloid
with every breath I steal life
descend into the void
strychnine inmy brain
running in circles
but you cant try to tame me
chorus
can't you see it's all connected?
can't you see its all connected?
you know I have to be respected
I'll see you in your nightmares
ultramachine eyes; your fears
I'm Jack The Ripper, Clarence Thomas
in disguise, revised
i got supersonic ears and big brother eyes
surprise! look in the mirror
'cause I posses the best in you
chorus
wake up and open your mind
you seem so hard to find
all alone in the darkness
your mind is such a mess,
wondering what will happen if you go over the edge
nno pennies in the wishing well
in a corner amongst the fools
Jesus Christ will love you
'till you die and go to hell!
