## TL;DR

SNAP25 (Synaptosomal-associated protein 25) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it.

## Summary

t-SNARE involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release. May play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion.

Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.51 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.84, animal model 0.46, genetic association 0.00, clinical 0.78).

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: Open Targets known-drug datatype score 0.78. Evidence tier "approved-drug" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
