Cortactin-binding protein 2 modulates the mobility of cortactin and regulates dendritic spine formation and maintenance.

Abstract excerpt

Dendritic spines, the actin-rich protrusions emerging from dendrites, are the locations of excitatory synapses in mammalian brains. Many molecules that regulate actin dynamics also influence the morphology and/or density of dendritic spines. Since dendritic spines are neuron-specific subcellular structures, neuron-specific proteins or signals are expected to control spinogenesis. In this report, we characterize...
