    Answer: Botox functions by inhibiting the function of SNARE protein.

    Explanation:

    The primary function of the SNARE protein is to mediate the vesicle fusion, which shows the fusion of the target membrane bound compartment with the vesicle.

    The botox functions by inhibiting the function of this protein. This is a drug which weakens or paralyzes the muscles.

    in small doses it is used to reduce the wrinkles on the face. This drug is made of bolulinum toxin which acts on the SNARE protein.
