Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein (VAMP)
- Target
- VAMP
- Molecular classification
- SNARE protein family, v-SNARE
01
Overview
Vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMPs), also known as synaptobrevins, are a family of SNARE proteins essential for vesicle fusion within cells. They mediate the fusion of vesicles with target membranes, crucial for neurotransmitter release, hormone secretion, and intracellular trafficking. VAMPs interact with t-SNAREs (syntaxin and SNAP25) to form the SNARE complex, driving membrane fusion. Different VAMP isoforms have specialized roles in various cellular compartments and processes.
