Description
alpha-Soluble NSF Attachment Protein (SNAP- alpha) is a member of the SNAP (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein) family. SNAP- alpha interacts with PRKCABP and disrupts the interaction between GRIA2 and PRKCABP, leading to the internalization of GRIA2. SNAP- alpha is required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. SNAP- alpha is in charge of the binding of NSF and therefore the formation of a 20S fusion particle
