Q171
SNARE proteins are found in
A.
Mitochondria
B.
Golgi bodies
C.
Endoplasmic reticulum
D.
Both B and C
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
SNARE proteins are found in Golgi bodies as well as Endoplasmic reticulum.A soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor activating protein receptors is SNARE.
SNAREs are short proteins that are bound to the surface of the vesicle and the membrane, connected by a segment that crosses the membrane or by covalently-attached lipid chains.
When the SNARE proteins come together, they form a tight bundle of alpha helices that pull the membranes into proximity.
