Abstract excerpt
Despite our general understanding that members of the SNARE superfamily participate in diverse intracellular docking/fusion events, the physiological role of the majority of SNAREs in the intact organism remains elusive. In this study, through targeted gene knockout in mice, we establish that VAMP8/endobrevin is a major player in regulated exocytosis of the exocrine pancreas. VAMP8 is enriched on the membrane of...
