VAMP5Vesicle-associated membrane protein 5 is a synaptobrevin protein encoded in the human by the VAMP5 gene.FunctionVAMPs along with syntaxins and the 25-kD synaptosomal-associated protein are the main components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of vesicles and cell membranes. The VAMP5 gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein /synaptobrevin family and the SNARE superfamily. This VAMP family member may participate in vesicle trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis.
