A v-SNARE is typically found on vesicle membranes and is a single polypeptide chain, whereas a t-SNARE is typically found on target membranes and is usually composed of three proteins. The t-SNAREs are often associated with inhibitory proteins that are released only when membrane fusion is necessary.
