- SLITRK3 is a known postsynaptic protein (see ticket #?????). It is shown to mediate cell-cell adhesion with PTPRS and PTPRD in a cell-adhesion assay (Fig.4A+B). SLITRK3 expressed in HEKcells is able to induce clustering of GABA ergic presynaptic (Synapsin1, VGLUT1, GAD67) but not postsynaptic (PSD-95) markers (Fig.4C+D). Overexpression (Fig.2) and KD (Fig.3) of SLITRK3 change the number of GABA (not Glut) synapses.
