A VAMP isoform expressed preferentially in skeletal muscle and heart

General Information

Myobrevin, also known as VAMP 5 belongs to the family of vesicle-associated membrane proteins and has a theoretical molecular weight of 11.4 kDa. Like other VAMP isoforms it is composed of an N-terminal cytoplasmic region and a C-terminal transmembrane domain.
Vamp 5 is preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle and heart tissue and is upregulated during the differentiation of C2C12 cells into myotubes.
