SNARE proteins are soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor activating protein receptor proteins that are membrane-bound and contain Heptad repeats[1]. These SNARE proteins are needed for the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane. When the SNARE proteins come together, they are able to pull the vesicle membrane and plasma membrane closer together by forming a tight group of alpa helices. Only around two or three SNARE complexes are needed to allow a vesicle to fuse with the plasma membrane[2].
