Protein name Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP-8) (Endobrevin) (EDB)
Protein function SNAREs, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors, are essential proteins for fusion of cellular membranes. SNAREs localized on opposing membranes assemble to form a trans-SNARE complex, an extended, parallel four al
