Summary: Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in SNARE complex assembly; positive regulation of receptor recycling; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport; calcium-ion regulated exocytosis; and cellular response to type II interferon. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; cytoplasmic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; and gonad. Orthologous to human VAMP3 (vesicle associated membrane protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in placenta adult (RPKM 36.6), limb E14.5 (RPKM 28.5) and 28 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
