SNAPIN KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, 29 bp deletion in exon 1 and 35 bp deletion in exon 1 and 50 bp deletion in exon 1 and Insertion of the selection cassette in exon 1.
Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.
1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

SNAPIN also known as SNAP25-interacting protein has an approximate mass of 15 kDa and functions mechanically by interacting with the SNARE complex an important structure in vesicular trafficking. It binds directly to the SNAP25 protein facilitating synaptic vesicle docking and neurotransmitter release at the synapse. Expression of SNAPIN is widespread throughout neuronal tissues and other cell types indicating its role in cellular communication processes.
SNAPIN enhances the efficiency of synaptic transmission and vesicle fusion processes. It integrates into the SNARE complex where it stabilizes this multi-protein assembly essential for neurotransmitter release. By bridging interactions between SNAP25 and synaptic vesicles SNAPIN helps bridge essential synapse communication modulating the synaptic transmission needed for effective neuron signaling.
SNAPIN participates in the synaptic vesicle cycle and neurotransmitter release pathways. It works closely in tandem with proteins such as Synaptotagmin and Synaptobrevin which are vital players in the SNARE complex responsible for membrane fusion. By modulating neurotransmitter release SNAPIN contributes to synaptic plasticity and response to neurological stimuli linking it to broader neurological signaling pathways.
Dysfunction of SNAPIN can relate to neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease due to its role in neurotransmitter release and synaptic function. Misregulation of SNAPIN function might also implicate it in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia where synaptic communication deficits are present. Additionally its involvement with SNAP25 in the SNARE complex associates it with these diseases and potential disruptions in SNARE-associated pathways and synaptic communication.
