description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport and skeletal muscle tissue development. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; intercalated disc; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Orthologous to human VAMP5 (vesicle associated membrane protein 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit perinatal lethality, decreased birth weight, duplex ureter, hydroureter, hydronephrosis, and insufficient expansion of the lung.
