Annotation description: | from the main text: "Staining of RHNs with a specific anti-FLNA antibody (Figures S7A and S7B) used in conjunction with confocal imaging confirmed that FLNA was detectable in the soma and dendrites and in structures resembling dendritic spines, close to synaptophysin+ clusters (data not shown)." this evidence together with the fact that FLNA is a well-known actin-crosslinking proteins indicates that FLNA is located on the postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton in dendritic spines. |
