Synaptobrevin [1] is an intrinsic membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles whose function is not yet known, but which is highly conserved in mammals, electric ray (where its is known as VAMP-1), Drosophila and yeast [2]. In yeast there are two closely related forms of synaptobrevin (genes SNC1 and SNC2) while in mammals there is at least 4 (genes SYB1, SYB2, SYB3 and SYBL1).
Structurally synaptobrevin consist of a N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of from 90 to 110 residues, followed by a transmembrane region, and then by a short (from 2 to 22 residues) C-terminal intravesicular domain.
As a signature pattern for synaptobrevin we selected a highly conserved stretch of residues located in the central part of the sequence.
