Summary

VAMP5 (vesicle associated membrane protein 5, HGNC:12646) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p11.2, encoding Vesicle-associated membrane protein 5 (O95183). May participate in trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis, such as myoblast fusion and/or GLUT4 trafficking.

Synaptobrevins/VAMPs, syntaxins, and the 25-kD synaptosomal-associated protein are the main components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of vesicles and cell membranes. The VAMP5 gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family and the SNARE superfamily. This VAMP family member may participate in vesicle trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis.

Function. May participate in trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis, such as myoblast fusion and/or GLUT4 trafficking.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Endomembrane system. Golgi apparatus. trans-Golgi network membrane.

Post-translational modifications. (Microbial infection) Targeted and hydrolyzed by C.botulinum neurotoxin type X (BoNT/X) which hydrolyzes the 40-Arg-|-Ser-41 bond and probably inhibits neurotransmitter release. It remains unknown whether BoNT/X is ever produced, or what organisms it targets.

Induction. During myogenesis.

Similarity. Belongs to the synaptobrevin family.
