Product Specs

Introduction
VAMP4, a member of the synaptobrevin family, plays a crucial role in vesicle docking and fusion with the cell membrane. Primarily located in the trans-Golgi network, VAMP4 is believed to be involved in the transport of molecules from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes. It participates in a pathway responsible for removing an inhibitor, likely synaptotagmin-4, which regulates calcium-triggered exocytosis during secretory granule maturation. The core components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane include synaptobrevins, syntaxins, and SNAP25.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Vesicle-associated membrane protein 4 (VAMP4) is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family. These proteins are integral to the process of vesicle-mediated transport, particularly in the context of synaptic vesicle docking and fusion with the presynaptic membrane .

Gene and Protein Structure

The VAMP4 gene is located on chromosome 1q24.3 and encodes a protein that is approximately 16.2 kDa in size . The protein sequence includes several key domains that facilitate its function in vesicular transport, including SNARE binding and SNAP receptor activity .

Function

VAMP4 plays a crucial role in the trans-Golgi network-to-endosome transport pathway. It is involved in the removal of an inhibitor (likely synaptotagmin-4) of calcium-triggered exocytosis during the maturation of secretory granules . This function is critical for the remodeling of the secretory response of granules, making VAMP4 a marker for this sorting pathway .

Pathways and Interactions

VAMP4 is part of several important cellular pathways, including vesicle-mediated transport and clathrin-mediated endocytosis . It interacts with other proteins in the SNARE complex, which is essential for the fusion of vesicles with target membranes .

Clinical Significance

Mutations or dysregulation of VAMP4 have been associated with various diseases, including infant botulism and foodborne botulism . Understanding the function and regulation of VAMP4 can provide insights into these conditions and potentially lead to therapeutic targets.

Recombinant VAMP4

Human recombinant VAMP4 is produced using expression systems such as HEK293T cells. The recombinant protein is often tagged for purification and detection purposes, and it is used in various research applications to study vesicle transport mechanisms .
