Gene:
VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein)-associated protein A, 33kDa
Gene ID:
199448
Symbol:
VAPA
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a type IV membrane protein. It is present in the plasma membrane and intracellular vesicles. It may also be associated with the cytoskeleton. This protein may function in vesicle trafficking, membrane fusion, protein complex assembly and cell motility. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
