Also an acronym for "soluble NSF attachment protein receptor", a family of proteins involved in the exocytosis of vesicles/secretory granules, such as in neurotransmitter release or mast cell degranulation. See Mast cell and Neurotransmitter or [1] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12325125&query_hl=5) (pretty advanced stuff).

The Snares (also known as Tini Heke and, incorrectly, as Snares Islands) are a small subantarctic island group approximately 200 kilometres south of New Zealand's South Island.
The Snares consist of the main island (North East Island) and the smaller Broughton Island as well as the somewhat isolated the Western Chain.
Unlike other subantarctic islands that were greatly affected by the whaling and sealing industry in the 19th century, The Snares remain one of the last pristine areas in New Zealand.
You must know there are two ways of contesting, the one by the law, the other by force; the first method is proper to men, the second to beasts; but because the first is frequently not sufficient, it is necessary to have recourse to the second.
A prince, therefore, being compelled knowingly to adopt the beast, ought to choose the fox and the lion; because the lion cannot defend himself against snares and the fox cannot defend himself against wolves.
Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves.
