| Immunogen |
A synthetic peptide from a cytoplasmic part of Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAMP-B) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in many species including human, rat, mouse, zebra fish, bovine, xenopus and chicken. |

| Also known as |
VAMP-associated protein B, VAMP-B, VAP-B, Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B/C, VAMP-associated protein B/C, VAMP-B/VAMP-C, VAP-B/VAP-C, VAPB |
| Background |
FUNCTION: May play a role in vesicle trafficking.
SUBUNIT: Homodimer, and heterodimer with VAPA. Interacts with VAMP1 and VAMP2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Intracytoplasmic membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Note: Present in the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. Isoform 1 predominates.
DISEASE: Defects in VAPB are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8 (ALS8). ALS8 is a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of cases leading to familial forms.
DISEASE: Defects in VAPB are a cause of proximal adult autosomal dominant spinal muscular atrophy; also called late-onset spinal muscular atrophy Finkel type. Spinal muscular atrophies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons, leading to progressive paralysis muscular atrophy. This form is a late- adult-onset form of the disease (after age 20 years). The patients show a benign course, most of them remaining ambulatory 10 to 40 years after clinical onset. |
