Characterization of an alternatively spliced isoform of rat vesicle associated membrane protein‐2 (VAMP‐2) [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 VAMPs are esicle ssociated embrane roteins that are essential for secretion. A spliced isoform of rat VAMP‐2, called VAMP‐2B, is characterized in this study. The VAMP‐2B transcript is the result of alternative RNA splicing in which an intron is retained.

Synaptotagmin 4 and 5 additively contribute to Arabidopsis immunity to Pseudomonas syringae DC3000
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are essential for vesicle trafficking in plants. Vesicle-associated membrane protein 721 and 722 (VAMP721/722) are secretory vesicle-localized R-SNAREs, which are involved in

The function of VAMP2 in mediating membrane fusion: An overview
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2, also known as synaptobrevin-2), encoded by VAMP2 in humans, is a key component of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex.

Two Rab proteins, vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP-2) and secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs), are present on immunoisolated parietal cell tubulovesicles [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1997 The tubulovesicles of gastric parietal cells sequester H+/K+-ATPase molecules within resting parietal cells. Stimulation of parietal cell secretion elicits delivery of intracellular H+/K+-ATPase to the apically oriented secretory canaliculus. Previous investigations have suggested that this process requires the regulated fusion of intracellular ...

Complexin 2 Modulates Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein (VAMP) 2-regulated Zymogen Granule Exocytosis in Pancreatic Acini [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 Complexins are soluble proteins that regulate the activity of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes necessary for vesicle fusion. Neuronal specific complexin 1 has inhibitory and stimulatory effects on exocytosis by clamping trans-SNARE complexes in a prefusion state and promoting conformational changes

Different regions of synaptic vesicle membrane regulate VAMP2 conformation for the SNARE assembly
Nature Communications, 2020 Vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2) contains a conserved SNARE motif that interacts with syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 for SNARE complex assembly. Here authors use in-cell NMR spectroscopy to describe the dynamic membrane association of VAMP2 SNARE ...

Proteolytic cleavage of synthetic fragments of vesicle‐associated membrane protein, isoform‐2 by botulinum type B neurotoxin [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1993 Recent data suggest that botulinum type‐B neurotoxin is a protease which acts on vesicle‐associated membrane protein, isoform 2 (VAMP‐2). In this report, botulinum type‐B neurotoxin is shown to cleave a synthetic fragment (HV62) of VAMP‐2, corresponding to the bulk of the hydrophillic domain (amino acids 33–94).

Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein-2 (VAMP2) Mediates cAMP-stimulated Renin Release in Mouse Juxtaglomerular Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 Renin is essential for blood pressure control. Renin is stored in granules in juxtaglomerular (JG) cells, located in the pole of the renal afferent arterioles. The second messenger cAMP stimulates renin release. However, it is unclear whether fusion and exocytosis of renin-containing granules is involved.

Fusogenic pairings of vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) and plasma membrane t-SNAREs--VAMP5 as the exception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Intracellular vesicle fusion is mediated by the interactions of SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins on vesicles (v-SNAREs) and on target membranes (t-SNAREs).
