R-SNARE Proteins

R-SNARES; Synaptobrevin; Synaptobrevins; Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein; Vesicle-Associated Membrane Proteins; Membrane Protein, Vesicle-Associated; Membrane Proteins, Vesicle-Associated; Proteins, R-SNARE; R SNARE Proteins; R SNARES
SNARE proteins where the central amino acid residue of the SNARE motif is an ARGININE. They are classified separately from the Q-SNARE PROTEINS where the central amino acid residue of the SNARE motif is a GLUTAMINE. This subfamily contains the vesicle associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) based on similarity to the prototype for the R-SNAREs, VAMP2 (synaptobrevin 2).
