Annotation description:Fig.3: "NMDA-mediated synaptic activity and plasticity in Tg+/kif17-/- mice"
KIF17 mutants show defects in LTP induction. These results suggest that mutation of the KIF17 CTD leads to defective NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic activity and plasticity.

Fig.4 OE of KIF17 mutants in KIF17 null background showed that GluN2B clusters were much less mobile, traveling anterogradely at a much slower velocity. Fig.6/7 KIF17 mutants show reduced amounts of functional NMDARs on the neuronal surface.

Additional literature:"Experiments with vesicles containingN-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 2B (NR2B subunit) show that they are transported along microtubules by KIF17, a neuron-specific molecular motor in neuronal dendrites. Selective transport is accomplished by direct interaction of the KIF17 tail with a PDZ domain of mLin-10 (Mint1/X11), which is a constituent of a large protein complex including mLin-2 (CASK), mLin-7 (MALS/Velis), and the NR2B subunit." @ PMID:10846156
