Dendritic Translocation of RC3/Neurogranin mRNA in Normal Aging, Alzheimer Disease and Fronto-Temporal Dementia
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
RC3/neurogranin is a postsynaptic protein kinase C (PKC)-/calmodulin-binding substrate implicated in long-term potentiation (LTP) forms of synaptic plasticity. Our previous digoxigenin in situ hybridization (DIG-ISH) studies detected RC3 mRNA in apical dendrites and cell bodies of neurons in the rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. This observation suggested that RC3 mRNA is selectively translocated to dendrites,...
