Annotated paper:Jensen V, et al. "A juvenile form of postsynaptic hippocampal long-term potentiation in mice deficient for the AMPA receptor subunit GluR-A" J Physiol. 2003 Dec 15;553(Pt 3):843-56 PMID:14555717
Figure(s):Fig.6, Table 2
Annotation description:Fig.6: "Accumulation of the GluR-B subunits in somata and at synapses of GluR-A-deficient mice"
- "...the number of anti-GluR-B labelled postsynaptic densities (PSDs) was about 1.5-fold increased compared to wild-type (Table 2)."

- Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen.
