SNARE Complex (SNARE)

Target
SNARE
Molecular classification
Protein Complex, Membrane Fusion Protein
01

Overview

The SNARE complex is a multi-protein complex that mediates the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, leading to neurotransmitter release. Key components include Syntaxin, SNAP25, VAMP/Synaptobrevin, Complexin, and Synaptotagmin. The complex is essential for calcium-triggered exocytosis and is a target for toxins like botulinum toxin.
