Abstract excerpt
Early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1), a peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic face of early endosomes, controls vesicle fusion during endocytosis, as extensively studied in non-neuronal cells. In neurons, early endosomes are involved in recycling of synaptic vesicles and neurotransmitter receptors. Since certain patients bearing autoantibodies that target EEA1 develop neurological disease, we...
