There was colocalization of Kv2.1 and Kv2.2 with endogenous VAPB at ER-PM junctions in mouse brain neurons. Expression of Kv2.1 recruits VAPB to ER-PM junctions.The domains of VAPs and Kv2.1 necessary and sufficient for their association at ER-PM junctions were identified.

Peroxisomal (PO) long range movements were largely diminished in response to human ACBD5 overexpression in primary mouse hippocampal neurons. PO localization significantly changed in ACBD5-transfected neurons, PO numbers in neurites increased, while PO density in the soma was decreased. Alterations in PO motility and distribution in the hippocampal neurons were independent of the interaction between ACBD5 and mouse Vapb.

ignificant alterations of the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB) and its downstream pathways such as mitochondrial calcium uptake and autophagy were detected in dominant GARS mutations. The role of VAPB has been supported by similar results in the GarsC210R mice. Our data suggest that altered mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAM) may be important disease mechanisms

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
