V-SNARE that mediates vesicle transport pathways through interactions with t-SNAREs on the target membrane. These interactions are proposed to mediate aspects of the specificity of vesicle trafficking and to promote fusion of the lipid bilayers. May be concerned with increased secretion of cytokines associated with cellular senescence. Enables SNARE binding activity and chloride channel inhibitor activity. Involved in regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in several cellular components, including endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm.
