Abstract excerpt
Postsynaptic scaffolding proteins, which are major components of the postsynaptic density (PSD) at excitatory synapses, include Shank, PSD-95, A-kinase anchoring protein, Homer, and SAP90/PSD-95-associated protein families and play crucial roles in synaptic structure, signaling, and functions. Several genetic studies have indicated that postsynaptic scaffolding proteins contribute to the etiology of various...
