Additional literature: | Using cortex from adult male rats, this study shows that CASK is enriched in a presynaptic cytomatrix preparation. The authors applied a synaptosome subfractionation protocol that is based on pH-dependent differential detergent solubility. Fig.7C shows the immunoblot for CASK and Table 1 the molecular components found in this fraction. @ PMID:11604139 |
