ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • VAMP8 null mice resulted in hydronephrosis and the level of AQP2 was increased by 3 to 5fold. VAMP8 may mediate the regulated fusion of AQP2-positive vesicles with the plasma membrane
  • VAMP8 null mice display reduced adiposity with increased energy expenditure despite normal food intake and reduced spontaneous locomotor activity
