What are snare proteins, how are these important to use by the human body?
SNARE proteins (an acronym derived from “SNAP (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein) REceptors” are a large protein superfamily consisting of more than 60 members in yeast and mammalian cells. The primary role of SNARE proteins is to mediate vesicle fusion, that is, the exocytosis of cellular transport vesicles with the cell membrane at the porosome or with a target compartment (such as a lysosome).
