OverviewNCBI Gene

Synaptobrevins/VAMPs, syntaxins, and the 25-kD synaptosomal-associated protein are the main components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of vesicles and cell membranes. The VAMP5 gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family and the SNARE superfamily. This VAMP family member may participate in vesicle trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against VAMP5 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads VAMP5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VAMP5 could matter depends on whether native VAMP5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

VAMP5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native VAMP5 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label VAMP5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
