Annotation description:TARP γ-5 is an integral membrane protein belonging to the type II family of TARPs. Biochemical fractionation shows TARP γ-5 localizes to synaptic membrane fractions, including the postsynaptic density, in the rat olfactory bulb (Figure 1B). Ectopic expression of TARP γ-5 in cultured cortical neurons shows TARP γ-5 is enriched in the soma and in puncta along neuronal processes which co-localize with the excitatory postsynaptic protein PSD-95 (Supplementary Figure 1).

The TARP γ-5 antibody is not suitable for immunostaining (authors comment in paper).

- TARP-gamma 5 is shown to interact with AMPARs, co-localize with synaptic markers in cultured neurons and but does not seem to be enriched in the PSD fraction. Together this supports the term 'integral component of postsynaptic membrane (GO:0099055)' selected by the expert.
- Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen.
