Annotation description: | immuno-EM demonstrates localization in spine head membrane of wild-type mice. integral to membrane localization based on near-membrane location in EM images and the protein having TMM domains. to clarify the terminology used in the paper for the "perisynapse" localization; "Morphological studies have shown that both phospholipase C-β and DGL-α are localized to the perisynapse, a subdivision of the dendritic spine that forms a 100-200-nm-thick border around the postsynaptic density" |
