DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A; Short=VAMP-A; Short=VAMP-associated protein A; Short=VAP-A; AltName: Full=33 kDa VAMP-associated protein; Short=VAP-33;
FUNCTION: May play a role in vesicle trafficking.
SUBUNIT: Homodimer, and heterodimer with VAPB. Interacts with VAMP1, VAMP2, STX1A, BET1, SEC22C and with the C-terminal domain of OCLN. Interacts with OSBPL1A. Interacts (via MSP domain) with ZFYVE27; may retain ZFYVE27 in the endoplasmic reticulum and regulate its function in cell projections formation. Interacts with OSBP. Interacts (via C-terminus) with RSAD2/viperin (via C- terminus). Interacts with HCV protein NS5A and NS5B.
INTERACTION: P00533:EGFR; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1059156, EBI-297353; Q5T4F4:ZFYVE27; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-1059156, EBI-3892947;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Note=Present in the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles, together with SNARE proteins. May also associate with the cytoskeleton. Colocalizes with OCLN at the tight junction in polarized epithelial cells.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the VAMP-associated protein (VAP) (TC 9.B.17) family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 MSP domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD09742.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended; Sequence=AAF72105.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended; Sequence=BG488667; Type=Frameshift; Positions=72, 207, 241;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
