Synaptobrevin Homolog YKT6 (YKT6) is an enzyme that belongs to the Synaptobrevin family. YKT6 contains a longin domain and a v-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain. YKT6 is highly conserved from yeast to human and it can functionally complement the loss of the yeast homolog in the yeast secretory pathway. It is a membrane associated, isoprenylated protein that functions at the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi transport step. YKT6 is considered as one of the SNARE recognition molecules implicated in vesicular transport between secretory compartments.
