VAPB
Sign in to saveAlso known as ALS8, VAMP-B, VAP-B, VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein)-associated protein B and C, VAMP associated protein B and C
Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B/C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VAPB gene. The VAPB gene is found on the 20th human chromosome. Together with VAPA, it forms the VAP protein family.

- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- ALS8, VAMP-B, VAP-B
The protein encoded by this gene is a type IV membrane protein found in plasma and intracellular vesicle membranes. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and as a heterodimer with VAPA. This protein also can interact with VAMP1 and VAMP2 and may be involved in vesicle trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
