Summary: Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity; chloride channel inhibitor activity; and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in SNARE complex assembly and mucus secretion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; positive regulation of pancreatic amylase secretion; and zymogen granule exocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral part of cell; basolateral plasma membrane; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Part of SNARE complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human VAMP8 (vesicle associated membrane protein 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
