This is the VTT (VMP1, TMEM41, and TVP38) domain found in sequences from all cellular organisms, including Golgi apparatus membrane protein TVP38 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is involved in vesicular trafficking and spindle migration [1,2]. This domain was previously called SNARE-associated domain but was renamed as there is no evidence that it associates with SNARE proteins [3]. [1]. 16107716.
