SNAP25 and Alzheimer disease: Increased levels of both pre- and post-synaptic proteins including synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25), growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), synaptotagmin-1, and neurogranin (Ng) have been detected in the CSF in the early stages of AD presumably due to release from degenerating synapses [6].
