Abstract excerpt
The postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) - the prototype of this family - is a modular protein that enables anchoring of NMDA receptors, modulates NMDA receptor sensitivity to glutamate and coordinates NMDA receptor-related intracellular processes. Since hypofunction of NMDA receptors has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, we explored the hypothesis that genetic variants of the PSD-95...
