Facts about Synaptosomal-associated protein 29.
SNAP29 is a SNARE involved in autophagy through the direct control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysososome membrane. Plays also a role in ciliogenesis by regulating membrane fusions.

Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell projection, cilium membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Appears to be mostly membrane-bound, probably via interaction with syntaxins, but a significant portion is cytoplasmic. Localizes to the ciliary pocket from where the cilium protrudes.
