PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a central membrane targeting module including a palmitoylated cysteine cluster with four cysteines , and this cysteine-rich domain is designed to facilitate the dual function of this SNARE protein at the plasma membrane and endosomes
	an additional five AA motif required for membrane anchoring
	two T-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains
	positively charged AAs at the SNAP25 C terminus promote tight SNARE complex zippering and are required for high release frequency and rapid release in individual fusion events

secondary structure

two alpha helices contributing to the four helix bundle of the synaptic SNARE complex

FAMILY	SNAP-25 family
	soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) protein family

CATEGORY

structural protein , receptor , transport

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,vesicle
text	fusion of plasma membrane to synaptic vesicles
	pre-synaptic plasma membrane protein
	axonally distributed
	membrane association of all SNAP25/23 proteins is enhanced by Golgi-localized DHHC3, DHHC7, and DHHC17
	peripheral membrane protein

basic FUNCTION	soluble N ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptor, SNARE protein
	may play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems
	plays an important role in synaptic vesicle membrane docking and fusion, which is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release
	involved in presynaptic neurotransmitter release
	participates in synaptic vesicle exocytosis through the formation of a SNARE complex and also plays a pivotal role in modulating calcium homeostasis through negative regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels
	heterogeneous distribution in brain may have important implications not only in relation to the function of the protein as a SNARE but also in the control of network excitability
	having essential functions in presynaptic neurotransmitter release
	play essential roles as SNARE proteins in membrane fusion events that occur at the plasma membrane
	essential for synaptic vesicle release from presynaptic nerve terminals
	regulates native voltage-gated calcium channels in glutamatergic neurons which could have important implications for neurological diseases associated with altered SNAP25 expression
	peripheral membrane protein, and palmitoylation of a cluster of four cysteine residues mediates its stable association with the membrane
	encodes a presynaptic protein with a role in regulation of neurotransmitter release
	might represent the first description of an adaptively evolving gene with a role in cognition
	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
	is involved in slow, clathrin-dependent endocytosis
	essential role in enteric neurotransmission suggesting that SNAP25 is a marker for impaired synaptic plasticity in enteric neuropathies underlying intestinal motility disorders
	is a Q-SNARE protein mediating exocytosis of neurosecretory vesicles including chromaffin granules
	is required for the exocytosis of neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission by mediating synaptic vesicle fusion
	is a key molecule in the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNARE) complex mediating fast Ca(2+)-triggered release of hormones and neurotransmitters
	cell death upon STXBP1, STX1A, or SNAP25 loss occurs via a degenerative pathway unrelated to the known synapse function of these proteins and involving early cis-Golgi
	abnormalities, distinct from apoptosis
	is a key player in synaptic vesicle docking and fusion and has been associated with multiple psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

	interaction of ADGRV1 and SNAP25 in organ of Corti and brain
	NCOA6 inhibits likely regulated exocytosis through the interaction of its C2 domain with STX1A and SNAP25, potentially competing with other SNARE-binding, C2 domain-containing accessory proteins such as SYT1 and by directly inhibiting trans-SNARE complex formation
	dual role of SNAP25 and VAMP1 in both exocytosis and slow endocytosis at conventional synapses
	SNAP25 likely allows the organization of the molecular apparatus needed for spine formation by recruiting and stabilizing SRCIN1
	SNAPIN, a SNAP25 interacting protein, interacts with LRRK2
