Background
SNAP25 (Synaptosome-Associated Protein of 25 kDa) is a membrane bound, pre-synaptic nerve terminal protein that plays an essential role in synaptic vesicle fusion and exocytosis. It is involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release. It is thought to play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. SNAP25 associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. SNAP25 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms, SNAP25A and SNAP25B. These isoforms are differentially expressed in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. These two isoforms differ by 9 amino acids in the central portion of the protein.
