PDBsumstructure summary

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.
