    motifs/domains
  • a N-terminal hydrophobic segment characteristic of a transmembrane domain
  • a coiled-coil C-terminal helical domain containing the SNAP23-binding site, responsible for protein-protein interaction and could enable SNAPIN to be an adaptor of PUM2 and NANOS1, binding other factors to regulate translation in the development of the human germ cells

    text
  • peripheral membrane-bound pools in adipocytes
  • in human testis, SNAPIN co-localizes with PUM2 and NANOS1 in prenatal and also in spermatogenic germ cells of the adult
  • basic FUNCTION
  • SNARE binding activity
  • playing a general role in SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion events in non-neuronal cells in addition to its participation in Ca2+-regulated neurosecretion
  • functioning as a regulator of an important cAMP synthesis enzyme in the brain
  • regulates dendrite number in developing neurons by modulating cypin-promoted microtubule assembly
  • probable targets for the amplification mechanism and may therefore be involved, together or separately, in the development or progression of Hepatocellular carcinoma
  • promote the maturation/priming of synaptic vesicles (SVs) by interacting with components of the SNARE complex
  • plays likely an extra role in mammals which is germ cell specific
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-1 (BLOC-1) is a ubiquitously expressed multisubunit protein complex required for the normal biogenesis of specialized organelles of the endosomal-lysosomal system, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with SNAP25
  • ADCY6 interacting protein
  • binds to cypin's (GDA) CRMP homology domain, which is where tubulin binds (competes with tubulin for binding to cypin, resulting in decreased microtubule assembly)
  • robust interaction with wild type and mutant torsinA (TOR1A)
  • binding partner of dysbindin-1 in the brain (function of dysbindin-1 in presynaptic, postsynaptic and microtubule locations may all be related to known functions of snapin)
  • interaction partner of CSNK1D (possible function for CKSNK1D in modulating snapin specific functions)
  • interacting with PUM2 (interacts with SNAPIN, a modulator of SNARE complex assembly, which is involved in vesicle trafficking
  • interacts additionally with NANOS1 protein
  • interacting with the C terminus of ADRA1A (augments ADRA1A-operated calcium influx through TRPC6)
  • EHD1 binds to the C terminus of SNAPIN via its C terminus EH domain
  • ADCY6, an enzyme which catalyzes cAMP synthesis, regulates neurite outgrowth by direct interaction with a binding protein (SNAPIN) of SNAP25 at the N terminus of ADCY6 (AC6-N)
  • specifically binds to SNAPIN and this interaction effectively facilitates endosomal maturation without affecting autophagic cargo degradation
  • RNF13 directly interacted with SNAPIN, a SNAP-25-interacting protein
  • SNAPIN, a SNAP25 interacting protein, interacts with LRRK2
  • LRRK2 may regulate neurotransmitter release via control of SNAPIN function by inhibitory phosphorylation
  • SNAPIN, a SNARE-associated protein implicated in synaptic transmission, is a new binding partner of the carboxyl terminal of SLC6A3
  • SNAPIN/SLC6A3 interaction represents a direct link between exocytotic and reuptake mechanisms and is a potential target for DA (dopamine) transmission modulation
