| Annotation description: | Fig.1: "Distribution of Wnt signaling proteins in the mouse hippocampus" - "Puncta of Wnt3a and Frizzled-4 signals showed extensive co-localizations with PSD-95 (Fig. 1, b-d and f-h), indicating their localization at the synaptic regions. As Frizzled-4 physically interacts with PSD-95 (39), this Wnt receptor is most likely localized on the post-synaptic membrane. Dishevelled-3 puncta overlapped with PSD-95 to a lesser extent (Fig. 1, j-l), whereas β-catenin displayed a more diffused pattern with signal clusters (Fig. 1, n-p), which is consistent with previous studies (40). These results suggest that Wnt signaling operates at hippocampal synapses." |
