Annotation description:Fig.7: "Ultrastructure of native SALM4 interactions in the brain using 10-nm immunogold labeling"
- "In immunogold-labeled sections from the hippocampus of P10 rats, and hippocampus, cerebellum, and olfactory bulb of young adult rats, SALM4 was localized largely to the cell membrane of neuronal processes (Fig. 7). At synapses, these included both the synaptic and extrasynaptic membranes on both presynaptic and postsynaptic sides, as well as the cell membrane of other structures such as neuron somas (Fig. 7D) and myelinated axons (Fig. 7H). In many cases, plasma membrane-associated gold could be found on both sides of adjacent membrane appositions (Fig. 7, A-D, F, and G). "

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