Definition: Synaptase is a type of enzyme that plays a crucial role in the process of synaptic transmission, which is the movement of ions and other molecules across the cell membrane to initiate or maintain nerve communication. Synaptases are found in a variety of cells, including neurons, glia, and endocrine glands, where they interact with neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes to facilitate the propagation of signals between neurons. Synaptase enzymes can also be used to break down proteins that are involved in synaptic
