Preparation and Storage

Background: VAMP-8

VAMP-8 (vesicle associated membrane protein 8; also endobrevin) is a 12 kDa member of the synaptobrevin family of proteins. It is a type IV transmembrane (TM) protein (i.e.- a type II TM protein whose C-terminus is predominately transmembrane) that is found in cells involved in vesicle release (platelets, mast cells and pancreatic acinar cells). It regulates exocytosis and decouples granule release from cytokine release. Human VAMP-8 is 100 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a vSNARE coiled-coil homology region (aa 12-72) and a membrane-anchor domain (aa 76‑96). Over aa 1‑75, human VAMP-8 shares 93% aa identity with mouse
VAMP‑2.
