Pancreas-specific SNAP23 Depletion Prevents Pancreatitis by Attenuating Pathological Basolateral Exocytosis and Formation of Trypsin-activating Autolysosomes.

This study revealed the roles of SNAP23 in mediating pathological basolateral exocytosis and IKBKB/IKKβ's involvement in autolysosome formation, both where trypsinogen activation would occur to cause pancreatitis. SNAP23 is a strong candidate to target for pancreatitis therapy.
