VTI1b Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs homolog 1 (VTI1a and VTI1b) are involved in vesicular transport from the late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (1) . They are both localized in the trans-Golgi network, with VTI1a also found in the Golgi apparatus and VTI1b in endosomes (2,3) . It is thought that VTI1b along with the SNARE protein VAMP8 mediates the fusion of antimicrobial and canonical autophagosomes with lysosomes, an essential process for autophagy (4) .
