Annotation description:Fig.6: "Electron micrographs demonstrating the subcellular localization of m3 receptor protein"
- "D, m4-positive spiny dendrite (d). Asymmetrical synapses (arrows) are present on the dendritic shaft and spine head (3). Note the concentration of r reaction product in the spine neck and at the postsynaptic densities. E, Higher-magnification view of a large m4-immunoreactive spine (s) with apparent accumulation of reaction product at the postsynaptic densities (arrows)."

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