SCAMP1 secretory carrier membrane protein 1

Gene ID: 9522, updated on 8-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCAMP; SCAMP37

Summary

This gene product belongs to the SCAMP family of proteins, which are secretory carrier membrane proteins. They function as carriers to the cell surface in post-golgi recycling pathways. Different family members are highly related products of distinct genes, and are usually expressed together. These findings suggest that these protein family members may function at the same site during vesicular transport rather than in separate pathways. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
