Target Details for NAPA

Target: NAPA (N-Ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor Attachment Protein, alpha (NAPA))

Alternative Name: SNAP alpha

Background: SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins), acting in concert with SNAREs (SNAP receptors) and the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF), are required for the fusion of transport vesicles to their target membranes in synaptic transmission, intra-Golgi transport, endosome-to-endosome fusion and transcytotic vesicles-to-plasma membrane transport. Vesicle-to-target membrane docking (initial contact) occurs when the vesicle SNARE binds to its cognate target membrane SNARE. a-SNAP (or bSNAP in brain) then binds to this docking complex and mediates the binding of NSF and thus the formation of a 20 S fusion particle. It is thought that, once NSF is bound, ATP hydrolysis by NSF initiates the fusion process. Whereas a-SNAP is expressed in all mammalian tissues, b-SNAP is expressed only in brain.Synonyms: Alpha-soluble NSF attachment protein, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein alpha, NAPA, SNAP-alpha, SNAPA
