Description
Product Characteristics: Snap25 contains 2 t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains and belongs to the SNAP-25 family. t-SNARE involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release. Snap25 may play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Snap25 associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Synonyms: Polyclonal SNAP25 antibody, Anti-SNAP25 antibody.
Target Information: Synaptic vesicle membrane docking and fusion is mediated by SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) located on the vesicle membrane (v-SNAREs) and the target membrane (t-SNAREs). The assembled v-SNARE/t-SNARE complex consists of a bundle of four helices, one of which is supplied by v-SNARE and the other three by t-SNARE. For t-SNAREs on the plasma membrane, the protein syntaxin supplies one helix and the protein encoded by this gene contributes the other two. Therefore, this gene product is a presynaptic plasma membrane protein involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. Two alternative transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
