Abstract:
Membrane fusion is essential for all life activities of eukaryotes and the fusion process requires the interaction of different vesicular transporters,which are highly conserved in eukaryotes,to coordinate specifically and facilitate the fusion of different biofilms. Vesicle associated membrane protein 8(VAMP8)mainly locates in vesicular as well as lysosomal membranes,and plays a vital role in the fusion of many different biofilms. This paper focused on the molecular structure,transcriptional regulation,post-translational modification and biological function of VAMP8 as well as the research progress on its correlation with human diseases,so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of related diseases and the development of effective therapeutics targeting VAMP8.
