Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 20955 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in SNARE complex assembly and positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport and regulation of protein targeting to vacuolar membrane. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; lamellipodium; and pseudopodium. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; cerebral cortex; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to human VAMP7 (vesicle associated membrane protein 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display an increased anxiety related response, increased circulating glycerol level, decreased body temperature, and decreased brain weight.
