GRAB operates within hierarchical RabGEF cascades: in human sperm acrosomal exocytosis it acts downstream of a Rab27A–Rabphilin3a module to activate Rab3A [PMID:30599141], and in lysosome exocytosis it bridges Rab11 to Rab3A at the cell periphery [PMID:34100549]. During erythropoiesis GRAB activates Rab8 to recruit the exocyst and recycle the transferrin receptor, and its loss causes iron-uptake and hemoglobinization defects in mouse and zebrafish models [PMID:35820059].
