Serum miRNAs Expression and SNAP-25 Genotype in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression by binding their 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) region; these molecules play a fundamental role in several pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

miR-23a-3p and miR-181a-5p modulate SNAP-25 expression. [PDF]
SNAP-25 protein is a key protein of the SNARE complex that is involved in synaptic vesicles fusion with plasma membranes and neurotransmitter release, playing a fundamental role in neural plasticity.

The SNARE protein SNAP-25 is required for normal exocytosis at auditory hair cell ribbon synapses [PDF]
Summary: Hearing depends on fast and sustained calcium-dependent synaptic vesicle fusion at the ribbon synapses of cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs). The implication of the canonical neuronal SNARE complex in this exocytotic process has so far remained ...

Phosphorylation of SNAP-25 at Ser187 is enhanced following its cleavage by Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A, promoting the dominant-negative effect of the resulting fragment. [PDF]
Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A (BoNT/A), responsible for most human botulism cases, inhibits neurotransmitter release by cleaving the target protein SNAP-25. Previous literature demonstrated that BoNT/A mediated cleavage of a small subset of the SNAP-25

Highly Specific Monoclonal Antibody Targeting the Botulinum Neurotoxin Type E Exposed SNAP-25 Neoepitope [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxin type E (BoNT/E), the fastest acting toxin of all BoNTs, cleaves the 25 kDa synaptosomal-associated protein (SNAP-25) in motor neurons, leading to flaccid paralysis. The specific detection and quantification of the BoNT/E-cleaved SNAP-

Diagnostic and prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid SNAP-25 and neurogranin in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a clinical setting cohort of rapidly progressive dementias [PDF]
Background The levels of synaptic markers synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) and neurogranin (Ng) have been shown to increase early in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and to have prognostic ...

Evidence for reduced synaptic protein SNAP-25 in cerebrospinal fluid in major depressive disorder and schizophrenia [PDF]
Background Decreased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of synaptic proteins, possibly reflecting impaired synaptic function, have been observed in major depressive disorder (MDD).Objective To investigate the diagnostic utility of the soluble N ...

SNAP-25, but not SNAP-23, is essential for photoreceptor development, survival, and function in mice [PDF]
SNARE-mediated vesicular transport is thought to play roles in photoreceptor glutamate exocytosis and photopigment delivery. However, the functions of Synaptosomal-associated protein (SNAP) isoforms in photoreceptors are unknown.
