VTI1A
Encyclopedia
Vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs homolog 1A is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the VTI1A gene
.
The protein encoded by the VTI1A gene is a target-SNARE
(t-SNARE) protein which is located in the membranes of target vesicle compartments.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...
