SNAP-23 is located in the basolateral plasma membrane of rat pancreatic acinar cells
FEBS letters, 1997•Elsevier
The SNARE hypothesis proposes that specificity of exocytosis is regulated by the
appropriate interactions between the vesicle (v-) SNARE and the target membrane (t-)
SNAREs. We show here that pancreatic acinar cells express the SNAP-25 t-SNARE
homolog SNAP-23, and find that this t-SNARE is most highly concentrated on the
basolateral plasma membrane while being expressed below detectable levels in endocrine
islets within the same tissue. This is the first localization of SNAP-23 within a polarized tissue …
