postsynaptic density

Further, it includes the assembly of the postsynaptic density, which is a protein-dense region with both structural and signaling functions.

Also, through crosslinking another multimeric protein Shank, it is proposed to comprise a core of the postsynaptic density.

DAP-4 is a membrane-associated guanylate kinase found at the postsynaptic density in neuronal cells.

The active zone is the portion of the presynaptic membrane opposite the postsynaptic density across the synaptic cleft.

Symmetric synapses in contrast have flattened or elongated vesicles, and do not contain a prominent postsynaptic density.

This postnatal increase during active synaptogenesis corresponds to increased expression of postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95).

It has been found to play a critical role in sustaining activation of CamKII at the postsynaptic density.

The tip of the spine contains an electrondense region referred to as the "postsynaptic density" (PSD).

Subcellularly in neurons, Homer1 is concentrated in postsynaptic structure and consist major part of postsynaptic density.

Synaptosomes may be used to isolate postsynaptic densities or the presynaptic active zone with attached synaptic vesicles.

Hundreds of proteins have been identified in the postsynaptic density including glutamate receptors, scaffold proteins, and many signaling molecules.

SynGAP1 is shown to localize at the postsynaptic density on the dendritic spines of excitatory synapses.

When examined under an electron microscope, asymmetric synapses are characterized by rounded vesicles in the presynaptic cell, and a prominent postsynaptic density.

The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a protein dense specialization attached to the postsynaptic membrane.

In addition, the size of postsynaptic densities of axospinous and axosomatic synapses is sexually dimorphic, with males having larger density than females.

A major mediator of protein clustering in the synapse is the postsynaptic density (95kD) protein PSD-95.

Glutamate receptors (GluRs) are localized to the postsynaptic density, and are anchored by cytoskeletal elements to the membrane.

Immediately behind the postsynaptic membrane is an elaborate complex of interlinked proteins called the postsynaptic density (PSD).

It also provides access to lists of genes derived from proteomics experiments characterising the composition of the complex of proteins present at the postsynaptic density.

Signaling from GluRs is mediated by the presence of an abundance of proteins, especially kinases, that are localized to the postsynaptic density.

Neuroligins interact with other postsynaptic proteins to localize neurotransmitter receptors and channels in the postsynaptic density as the cell matures.

Postsynaptically, F-actin can be found in the postsynaptic density zone (PSDZ) and throughout the spine head and neck.

Kenyon Cells also form presynapses along their calycal dendrites, by using novel transgenic tools for visualizing presynaptic active zones and postsynaptic densities.

Plasma membranes can also form different types of "supramembrane" structures such as caveola, postsynaptic density, podosome, invadopodium, desmosome, hemidesmosome, focal adhesion, and cell junctions.

After LTP induction, CaMKII moves to the postsynaptic density (PSD).
