Gene Information
human ... VAPA(9218)
General description
VAPA (vesicle associated membrane protein associated protein A) gene is localized to human chromosome 18p11. The encoded protein is also called VAP33, which shows a wide range of tissue expression. It is an integral membrane protein, which is composed of coiled-coil domains. This protein was originally isolated from Aplysia as an interacting partner of VAMP/synaptobrevin. This protein co-localizes with occluding at the tight junctions in cells. This protein has a molecular weight of 33kDa.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
VAPA (vesicle associated membrane protein associated protein A) plays an essential role in vesicular neurotransmission, where it interacts with presynaptic proteins. Studies suggest that SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the 3′UTR (untranslated region) of this gene are linked with bipolar disorder. It is essential for the replication of HCV (hepatitis C virus), where it interacts with HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) in a G protein pathway suppressor 2 (GPS2)-mediated manner. As this protein binds with VAMP/synaptobrevin, it is thought to be involved in vesicle docking and fusion.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The lipid molecule ceramide is transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus for sphingomyelin production via the ceramide transport protein (CERT), encoded by CERT1. Hyperphosphorylation of CERT's serine-repeat motif (SRM) decreases its functionality. Some forms of inherited intellectual
