    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene is a type IV membrane protein found in plasma and intracellular vesicle membranes. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and as a heterodimer with VAPA. This protein also can interact with VAMP1 and VAMP2 and may be involved in vesicle trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

    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.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2, also known as VAPC and VAMPC) lacks three exons in the coding region, which results in a frameshift and an early stop codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2, also known as VAPC and VAMPC) is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

    1. NR_036633.2 RNA Sequence

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3, also known as VAPB-3,4) lacks two alternate internal exons, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
