Protein
Secretory carrier-associated membrane protein 5
Function
Required for the calcium-dependent exocytosis of signal sequence-containing cytokines such as CCL5. Probably acts in cooperation with the SNARE machinery. May play a role in accumulation of expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) protein huntingtin (HTT) in case of endoplasmic reticulum stress by inhibiting the endocytosis pathway.
Similarity
Belongs to the SCAMP family. SCAMP5 subfamily.
