Background NAPG, also known as gamma SNAP, belongs to the SNAP family. SNAPs enable N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) to bind to target membranes. NSF and SNAPs appear to be general components of the intracellular membrane fusion apparatus, and their action at specific sites of fusion must be controlled by SNAP receptors particular to the membranes being fused. NAPG mediates platelet exocytosis and controls the membrane fusion events of this process. It is required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus.
