Annotation description:Neto1 is an integral membrane protein which localizes to the postsynaptic density membrane in hippocampal neurons.

Fig.2: "Neto1 is a PSD Protein Localized to Dendritic Spines and Interacts with PSD-95 through a C-Terminal PDZ Tripeptide"
- Fig.2A: "Neto1 was prominently expressed in the crude synaptosomal (Figure 2A, lane S2) and PSD fractions, but was absent from the synaptic vesicle fraction (Figure 2A, lane LP2)."
- Fig.2B/C/D: "We found that Neto1 immunostaining decorated MAP2 positive dendritic arbors and co-localized with that of PSD-95 (Figure 2B) and NR1 (Figure 2C). We also found that Neto1 co-localized with actin (Figure 2D), which is highly enriched in dendritic spines in the hippocampus [20]."
- Fig.2E/F: "Altogether, these findings indicate that Neto1 associates with PSD-95 in brain synapses through the binding of its C-terminal tripeptide with the PDZ domains of PSD-95"
Conclusion: "Together, these findings demonstrate that Neto1 is a component of the PSD of excitatory synapses."
