Anti-VAMP8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein vesicle associated membrane protein 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 100 amino acid residues and a mass of 11.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the lysosomes and cell membrane. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Synaptobrevin protein family, VAMP8 is known to be involved with viral immune response and protein transport. Synonyms for this target antigen include EDB and vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 (endobrevin). VAMP8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. Over 70 citations in the literature describe the use of VAMP8 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
