DESCRIPTION

Also known as SNP29_HUMAN, SNAP29. SNAREs, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors, are essential proteins for fusion of cellular membranes. SNAREs localized on opposing membranes assemble to form a trans-SNARE complex, an extended, parallel four alpha-helical bundle that drives membrane fusion. SNAP29 is a SNARE involved in autophagy through the direct control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysososome membrane. Plays also a role in ciliogenesis by regulating membrane fusions. Forms a SNARE complex, composed of VAMP8, SNAP29 and STX17, involved in fusion of autophagosome with lysosome (PubMed:23217709, PubMed:25686604). Interacts with multiple syntaxins including STX6 (By similarity). Interacts with EIPR1 (PubMed:27440922). Interacts with STX17; this interaction is increased in the absence of TMEM39A (PubMed:31806350, PubMed:33422265).
