Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor Attachment Proteins definition

Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor Attachment Proteins
NSF Attachment Protein; Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Fusion Attachment Protein; Soluble NSF Attachment Protein; alpha-SNAP; beta-SNAP; gamma-SNAP; Attachment Protein, NSF; Protein, NSF Attachment
SNARE binding proteins that facilitate the ATP hydrolysis-driven dissociation of the SNARE complex. They are required for the binding of N-ETHYLMALEIMIDE-SENSITIVE PROTEIN (NSF) to the SNARE complex which also stimulates the ATPASE activity of NSF. They are unrelated structurally to SNAP-25 PROTEIN.
