Also known as: VAP-B; VAMP-B
Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including FFAT motif binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response; endoplasmic reticulum organization; and modulation by host of viral genome replication. Is active in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8; autosomal dominant adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy; and spinal muscular atrophy. Orthologous to human VAPB (VAMP associated protein B and C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

VAPB-PTPIP51 mitochondrial tethering proteins are present in synapses and regulate synaptic activity.
Title: The VAPB-PTPIP51 endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria tethering proteins are present in neuronal synapses and regulate synaptic activity.
YIF1A interacts with VAPB via its transmembrane regions, recycles between the ER and Golgi and is mainly localized to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartments in hippocampal neurons.
Title: The ALS8 protein VAPB interacts with the ER-Golgi recycling protein YIF1A and regulates membrane delivery into dendrites.
The results suggested that neuronal cells have a particular requirement for VAPB proteolysis and that reduced levels of processed polypeptides may contribute to the neurodegeneration associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8.
Title: The ALS8-associated mutant VAPB(P56S) is resistant to proteolysis in neurons.

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.
