Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in SNARE complex assembly; positive regulation of receptor recycling; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport; calcium-ion regulated exocytosis; and cellular response to type II interferon. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; cytoplasmic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; and gonad. Orthologous to human VAMP3 (vesicle associated membrane protein 3).
