Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab208831 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab208831, 1/2500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Phycoerythrin (ab209478) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Yellow/Green laser (561nm) and 586/15 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

VAMP8 also known as synaptobrevin-like protein 2 or EDB is a SNARE protein with a mass of approximately 12 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in many tissues including the lung pancreas and kidney. It plays an important role in vesicle-mediated transport where it facilitates the fusion of vesicles with target membranes as part of a larger protein complex. By participating in these membrane fusion processes the protein contributes to cellular trafficking.
Biological function summary

VAMP8 engages in vesicular transport mechanisms that support exocytosis and endocytosis processes. It forms part of the SNARE complex which is important for merging vesicles with their target compartments. Through this association VAMP8 aids the release of substances such as hormones and digestive enzymes from the cells. This process is critical for maintaining the balance and function of cellular activities across different tissues.

Pathways

VAMP8 functions in the context of the trafficking pathways that include the endocytic and exocytic pathways. It is a participant in regulated exocytosis where it interacts with other SNARE proteins like syntaxin and SNAP-25 ensuring precise membrane fusion events occur. These pathways ensure proper cellular communication and debris clearance underlining the importance of VAMP8 in general cellular homeostasis.

VAMP8 is associated with conditions like inflammatory diseases and certain exocytic disorders. Researchers have observed its involvement in conditions like pancreatitis where its regulatory function in enzyme secretion becomes apparent. VAMP8 also has connections with other disease-related proteins such as those in the SNARE family which contribute to altered secretory pathways and inflammation. Understanding the precise mechanisms of VAMP8 helps in developing therapeutic approaches to managing these disorders.

Target data

SNAREs, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors, are essential proteins for fusion of cellular membranes. SNAREs localized on opposing membranes assemble to form a trans-SNARE complex, an extended, parallel four alpha-helical bundle that drives membrane fusion. VAMP8 is a SNARE involved in autophagy through the direct control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysososome membrane via its interaction with the STX17-SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complex (PubMed : 23217709, PubMed : 25686604). Also required for dense-granule secretion in platelets (PubMed : 12130530). Also plays a role in regulated enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells (By similarity). Involved in the abscission of the midbody during cell division, which leads to completely separate daughter cells (By similarity). Involved in the homotypic fusion of early and late endosomes (By similarity). Participates also in the activation of type I interferon antiviral response through a TRIM6-dependent mechanism (PubMed : 31694946).
