| Annotation description: | Detection of nAchRs subunits in sub synaptic fractions of rodent striatal synaptosomes with Western Blot 22/11/2017 Pim - The authors mention enrichment of PSD, but I allow annotation to the less specific term postsynaptic membrane to reflect the dirty nature of the preparation. - Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen. |
