SNARE-associated protein Snapin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNAPIN gene.[1][2][3]

SNAPAP is a component of the SNARE complex of proteins that is required for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion.[1] SNAPAP is also a component of the ubiquitously expressed BLOC1 multisubunit protein complex. BLOC1 is required for normal biogenesis of specialized organelles of the endosomal-lysosomal system, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules.[4][supplied by OMIM][3]

Interactions

SNAPAP has been shown to interact with SNAP-25,[1] BLOC1S1,[4] SNAP23,[5] Dysbindin,[4] TRPV1,[6] PLDN,[4] BLOC1S2[4] and RGS7.[2]
