basic FUNCTION
| soluble N ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptor, SNARE protein |
|
calcium-dependent role in the docking and fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane |
|
playing a central role in neural exocytosis |
|
its cleavage modifies the coupling between channels and release-competent vesicles |
|
potentially having a vital role in a subset of central nervous system tissues  |
|
its structure is clearly controlled by protein-lipid interactions  |
|
with VAMP2, and syntaxin-4 regulate NPPA release from cardiac myocyte  |
|
with other VAMPs, has differential membrane fusion capacities, and imply that with the exception of VAMP5, VAMPs are essentially redundant in mediating fusion with plasma membrane t-SNAREs |
|
dual role of VAMP1, SNAP25, STX1A in exo- and endocytosis suggests that SNARE proteins may be molecular substrates contributing to the exocytosis-endocytosis coupling, which maintains exocytosis in secretory cells  |
