MeSH definition : SNARE proteins where the central amino acid residue of the SNARE motif is an ARGININE.
They are classified separately from the Q-SNARE PROTEINS where the central amino acid
residue of the SNARE motif is a GLUTAMINE. This subfamily contains the vesicle associated
membrane proteins (VAMPs) based on similarity to the prototype for the R-SNAREs, VAMP2
(synaptobrevin 2).;
MeSH synonym : r-snares; proteins, r-snare; r snares; R SNARE proteins;
