Munc18 is a cytosolic brain protein of ~67kD which plays a key role in vesicle membrane fusion events with the plasma membrane.
Functional interactions have been demonstrated to exist between Munc18, synaptosomal associated protein of 25kD (SNAP-25), synaptobrevin, and syntaxin.
Munc18 is the mammalian homologue of the C.
elegans gene unc-18.
Mutations in Munc18 can result in accumulations of acetylcholine and paralytic phenotype suggestive of a neurotransmitter release defect.
Munc18 thus appears to be required by the synaptic vesicle fusion complex.
Two Munc18 isoforms have recently been identified.
Munc18-1 has been shown to be primarily expressed in brain, while Munc18-2 is expressed in most tissues.
