Function
BXWO_WEIOS When overexpressed the N-terminus (residues 1-476) cleaves rat synaptobrevin-2/VAMP2 between '89-Trp-|-Trp-90' in vitro. This releases the cytoplasmic domain of VAMP2 from the synaptic vesicle membrane, which would prevent the assembly of the trans-SNARE complex on the membrane and thus prevent vesicle-target membrane fusion and neurotransmitter release (PubMed:27443638).[1]
