SCAMP5
Description
The SCAMP5 (secretory carrier membrane protein 5) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
SCAMP5 is a gene that encodes a protein called Secretory carrier-associated membrane protein 5. This protein is involved in the transport and release of molecules within cells.
SCAMP5 is crucial for calcium-dependent exocytosis of cytokines like CCL5, likely working alongside the SNARE machinery. It might also contribute to the buildup of expanded polyglutamine protein huntingtin (HTT) during endoplasmic reticulum stress by interfering with the endocytosis process.
SCAMP5 is also known as -.
