Generic protein structure example

Synaptobrevin-like protein 1 (SYBL1), also known as vesicle-associated membrane protein 7 (VAMP7), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VAMP7, or SYBL1, gene.[1][2][3]

Function

SYBL1 is a transmembrane protein that is a member of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) family. SYBL1 localizes to late endosomes and lysosomes and is involved in the fusion of transport vesicles to their target membranes.[3]

Interactions

SYBL1 has been shown to interact with SNAP23[4][5] and AP3D1.[4]
