| Annotation description: | Fig.6: "Electron micrographs showing immunoperoxidase labeling for the D2 receptor within dendrites (D2-d in panel a and c), spines (D2-s in panel b), and axon terminals (D2-t in panels d and e) within the ICMs (panels a and d) and BLA (panels b, c, and e) of the AMG" - "The D2R was frequently observed within dendrites (Fig. 6a, c) and spines (Fig. 6b)." - "The D2R was frequently found within axonal profiles (Fig. 6d, e). Some of these formed either symmetric or asymmetric synapses (Fig. 6e) onto spines or distal dendrites." - Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen. |
