Vamp8 - vesicle-associated membrane protein 8

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 interferon-gamma; positive regulation of pancreatic amylase secretion; and zymogen granule exocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cytoplasmic vesicle; and lysosome. Part of SNARE complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human VAMP8 (vesicle associated membrane protein 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
