Official Full Name: vesicle associated membrane protein 3
Also known as: CEB
Synaptobrevins/VAMPs, syntaxins, and 25-kD synaptosome-associated proteins are major components of protein complexes involved in the docking and/or fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. This gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family. Due to its high homology to other known VAMPs, its wide tissue distribution and subcellular localization, the protein encoded by this gene was shown to be the human equivalent of the rodent cellulose protein. In platelets, this protein resides on a compartment that is not mobilized to the plasma membrane in response to calcium or thrombin stimulation.
