Annotation description: | This paper shows the ultrastructural localization of drebrin A primarily in dendritic spines, as visualized by horseradish peroxidase/diaminobenzidine (HRP/DAB) staining (Figure 1). The localization was highest in the spine cytoplasm (~56%), with smaller fractions in or at the PSD (~25%), and at the plasma membrane (~15%) (Figure 3). |

Additional literature: | Drebrin A is localized at the plasma membrane of nascent spines. Drebrin A may be involved in organizing the dendritic pool of actin for the formation of spines and of axospinous excitatory synapses during early postnatal periods. @ PMID:15700273 |
