Product Details
Description | Rabbit Polyclonal to SNAP23. SNAP23(Synaptosomal-Associated Protein, 23-KD), also called SNAP23A, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNAP23 gene. The SNAP23 gene has 8 exons, with the initiation codon located in exon 2. The SNAP23 gene is mapped on 15q15.1-q15.2. The SNAP23 cDNA encodes a 211-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted mass of 23 kD. Its amino acid sequence is 59% identical to that of SNAP25. Northern blot analysis revealed that SNAP23 is ubiquitously expressed. SNAP23 is able to bind to multiple syntaxins as well as to multiple vesicle-associated membrane proteins. After relocation, SNAP23 is required for exocytosis, implying a crucial role in promoting membrane fusion. TIVAMP-containing vesicles were concentrated in the apical domain of epithelial cells. STX3A and SNAP23 were codistributed at the apical plasma membrane, where they formed N-ethyl maleimide-dependent SNARE complexes with TIVAMP and cellubrevin. SNAP23 is structurally and functionally similar to SNAP25 and binds tightly to multiple syntaxins and synaptobrevins/VAMPs. It is an essential component of the high affinity receptor for the general membrane fusion machinery and is an important regulator of transport vesicle docking and fusion. | |

About SNAP23
Specificity of vesicular transport is regulated, in part, by the interaction of a vesicle-associated membrane protein termed synaptobrevin/VAMP with a target compartment membrane protein termed syntaxin. These proteins, together with SNAP25 (synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa), form a complex which serves as a binding site for the general membrane fusion machinery. Synaptobrevin/VAMP and syntaxin are believed to be involved in vesicular transport in most, if not all cells, while SNAP25 is present almost exclusively in the brain, suggesting that a ubiquitously expressed homolog of SNAP25 exists to facilitate transport vesicle/target membrane fusion in other tissues. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally and functionally similar to SNAP25 and binds tightly to multiple syntaxins and synaptobrevins/VAMPs. It is an essential component of the high affinity receptor for the general membrane fusion machinery and is an important regulator of transport vesicle docking and fusion. Two alternative transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
