The role of SCAMP5 in central nervous system diseases

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.
