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...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions
Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 has been shown to interactProtein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...
with STX4
STX4
Syntaxin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX4 gene.-Interactions:STX4 has been shown to interact with SNAP-25, NAPA, STXBP5, SNAP23, Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, RAB4A, TXLNB, VAMP2, VAMP3, STXBP1 and Syntaxin binding protein 3.-Further reading:...
, SNAP23
SNAP23
Synaptosomal-associated protein 23 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNAP23 gene. Two alternative transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene.- Function :...
, STX1A
STX1A
Syntaxin-1A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX1A gene.- Function :Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters that are released during calcium-regulated exocytosis. The specificity of neurotransmitter release requires the localization of both synaptic vesicles and calcium channels to...
, STX8
STX8
Syntaxin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX8 gene.Syntaxin 8 directly interacts with HECTd3 and has similar subcellular localization. The protein has been shown to form the SNARE complex with syntaxin 7, vti1b and endobrevin...
and STX7
STX7
Syntaxin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX7 gene.In melanocytic cells STX7 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.-Interactions:STX7 has been shown to interact with STX8, VPS18, Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 and VPS11....
