Facts about Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8.
VAMP8 is a SNARE involved in autophagy during the direct control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysososome membrane via its interaction with the STX17-SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complicated (PubMed:23217709, PubMed:25686604). Plays also a function in regulated enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells (By similarity).
