Preparation and Storage

Background: SNAP29

SNAP29 (29 kDa Soluble NSF [n-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor] Attachment Protein; also Synaptosomal associated protein 29 and GS32 [in rodent]) is a cytosolic and membrane-associated 27-32 kDa member of the syntaxin/ SNAP-25 family of proteins. It is widely, if not ubiquitously, expressed, and found in cell types as diverse as oligodentroglia, mast cells, neurons, Schwann cells and likely keratinocytes. Functionally, SNAP29 interacts with directly with syntaxin-1A and negatively impacts neurotransmission by inhibiting SNARE complex disassembly. In addition, it interacts with EHD1and AP-2, contributing to receptor-mediated endocytosis. Finally, it also might be said that SNAP29 is a key to the maintenance of general intracellular trafficking patterns. In this regard, SNAP29 has a remarkable ability to bind to a large number of syntaxins associated with multiple internal membranes. Human SNAP29 is 258 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain (aa 196-258). Over aa 1-129, human and mouse SNAP29 share 88% aa sequence identity.
