t-SNARE (source code)
= t-SNARE
{c}
A <t-SNARE> is a <SNARE protein> or complementary assembly assigned to the target membrane in a particular membrane-transport event. It pairs with a <v-SNARE> on the incoming carrier to form a fusion-associated <SNARE complex>. The prefix describes the experimental transport arrangement; it does not imply that a given membrane is always a target in every trafficking pathway. The neuronal target assembly includes <syntaxin> and <SNAP-25>. <SNAREpins: minimal machinery for membrane fusion by T. Weber and others>[Weber and others, 1998, separate vesicle reconstitution of v- and t-SNAREs]{ref}
