NAPG
Official Full Name
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion protein attachment protein gamma
Background
NAPG is a cytoplasmic protein that binds to a membrane receptor complex composed of VAMP, SNAP25 and syntaxin. It mediates the membrane binding of NSF, which is essential for membrane fusion reactions. An additional protein designated synaptophysin may regulate exocytosis by competing with SNAP25 and syntaxins for VAMP binding.
Synonyms
N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein, gamma; gamma-soluble NSF attachment protein; SNAP-gamma; soluble NSF attachment protein; GAMMASNAP; gamma SNAP; N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein gamma
