Function

May participate in trafficking events that are associated with myogenesis, such as myoblast fusion and/or GLUT4 trafficking.

Post-translational modifications

(Microbial infection) Targeted and hydrolyzed by C.botulinum neurotoxin type X (BoNT/X) which hydrolyzes the 40-Arg-|-Ser-41 bond and probably inhibits neurotransmitter release (PubMed:28770820). It remains unknown whether BoNT/X is ever produced, or what organisms it targets.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the synaptobrevin family.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Single-pass type IV membrane protein
  • Endomembrane system
  • Single-pass type IV membrane protein
  • Golgi apparatus
  • trans-Golgi network membrane
  • Single-pass type IV membrane protein
  • Associated with the plasma membrane as well as intracellular perinuclear and peripheral vesicular structures of myotubes. Associated with the trans-Golgi, but not with the cis-Golgi apparatus (By similarity).
