Data sheet | 116_102.pdf |
Munc 18 is an abundant neuronal protein that tightly binds to the synaptic fusion protein syntaxin 1. It is highly homologous to the C. elegans unc-18 gene product, and weakly related to the yeast sec1, sly1, and slp1 genes.
There are three munc 18 isoforms in mammals. Munc 18-1 or 18a, also referred to as rb-sec1, n-sec1, stxbp1 and p67, is primarily expressed in neurons. Munc 18-2 or 18b, also referred to as stxbp2, and Munc 18-3 or 18c are expressed ubiquitously.
