Annotation description:Fig.1: "IP3K-A accumulates in dendritic spines upon LTP induction"

Fig.6: "IP3K-A recruits activated Rac1 onto F-actin fibers"
- "Furthermore, p-PAK-IRs were dramatically merged with overexpressed GFP-IP3K-A signals, which are localized on the F-actin in the head of dendritic protrusions (Figure 3A and Figure 6C), suggesting that IP3K-A-dependent targeting of activated Rac onto F-actin cytoskeleton also occurs in neurons."
