SNAP

Catalog Number: EXA-X1024

 

Details

38 kDa SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins), acting in concert with SNAREs (SNAP receptors) and the N-ethylmaleimide- sensitive fusion protein (NSF) are required for the fusion of transport vesicles to their target membranes in synaptic transmission, intra-Golgi transport, endosome-toendosome fusion and transcytotic vesicles-to-plasma membrane transport. Vesicle-to-target membrane docking (initial contact) occurs when the vesicle SNARE binds to its cognate target membrane SNARE. ?-SNAP (or ?-SNAP in brain) then binds to this docking complex and mediates the binding of NSF and thus the formation of a 20S fusion particle. It is thought that, once NSF is bound, ATP hydrolysis by NSF initiates the fusion process.
