Abstract

Objective:

Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) constitute a group of membrane transport proteins in plants, insects and mammals. The mammalian genome contains five types of SCAMP genes, namely, SCAMP1-SCAMP5. SCAMPs participate in the vesicle cycling fusion of vesicles and cell membranes and play roles in regulating exocytosis and endocytosis, activating synaptic function and transmitting nerve signals. Among these proteins, SCAMP5 is highly expressed in the brain and has direct or indirect effects on the function of the central nervous system. This paper may allow us to better understand the role of SCAMP5 in the central nervous system diseases. SCAMP5 regulates membrane transport, controls the exocytosis of SVs and is related to secretion carrier and membrane function. In addition, SCAMP5 plays a major role in the normal maintenance of the physiological functions of nerve cells. This article summarizes the effects of SCAMP5 on nerve cell exocytosis, endocytosis and synaptic function, as well as the relationship between SCAMP5 and various neurological diseases, to better understand the role of SCAMP5 in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases.

Methods:

Through PubMed, this paper examined and analyzed the role of SCAMP5 in the central nervous system, as well as the relationship between SCAMP5 and various neurological diseases using the key terms "secretory carrier membrane proteins"," SCAMP5"," exocytosis"," endocytosis", "synaptic function", "central nervous system diseases" up to 01 March 2022.

Results:

SCAMP5 regulates membrane transport, controls the exocytosis of SVs and is related to secretion carrier and membrane function. In addition, SCAMP5 plays a major role in the normal maintenance of the physiological functions of nerve cells.

Conclusion:

This article summarizes the effects of SCAMP5 on nerve cell exocytosis, endocytosis and synaptic function, as well as the relationship between SCAMP5 and various neurological diseases, to better understand the role of SCAMP5 in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases.

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are excellent models for disease research because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into most cell types. Somatic cells from a patient are isolated and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. These iPSCs are later differentiated into the desired cell type, which mirrors the diseased cell of the patient. In this way, disease models have been created for investigating diseases such as Down syndrome, type I diabetes,...

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules

Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...
