Secretory carrier-associated membrane protein 5

Function

Required for the calcium-dependent exocytosis of signal sequence-containing cytokines such as CCL5. Probably acts in cooperation with the SNARE machinery. May play a role in accumulation of expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) protein huntingtin (HTT) in case of endoplasmic reticulum stress by inhibiting the endocytosis pathway.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the SCAMP family. SCAMP5 subfamily.

Tissue Specificity

Expressed both by neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. Expressed in brain, stomach, thyroid, spinal cord, lymph node, trachea, adrenal gland, bone marrow and in the different parts of brain. In thyroid tissues, it is expressed by the follicular epithelial cells. In the adrenal gland tissues it is detected in the zona fasciculata of the cortex region (at protein level).
