Synaptobrevins (synaptobrevin isotypes 1-2 ) are small integral membrane proteins of secretory vesicles with molecular weight of 18 kilodalton (kDa) that are part of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) family.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
Synaptobrevin is one of the SNARE proteins involved in formation of the SNARE complexes.
