VAMP1 vesicle associated membrane protein 1

Gene ID: 6843, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SAX1; SYB1; CMS25; SPAX1; VAMP-1

Summary

Synapotobrevins, syntaxins, and the synaptosomal-associated protein SNAP25 are the main components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant spastic ataxia 1. Multiple alternative splice variants have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
