Gene: VAMP8

Alternate names for this Gene: EDB|VAMP-8

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that belongs to the synaptobrevin/vesicle-associated membrane protein subfamily of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). The encoded protein is involved in the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p11.2

Description of this Gene: vesicle associated membrane protein 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
