Annotation description:- K+-channel tetramerization domain-containing proteins (KCTDs) are auxiliary GABAB receptor (GBR) subunits.
- Experiments were performed at the synaptic connection from medial habenula (MHb) to interpeduncular nucleus (IPN).
- pre-embedding immunogold labeling, imaged with TEM. "In MHb terminals in the rostral IPN, Cav2.3 and KCTD12b showed similar localization patterns, with peak particle densities in the active zone and a gradual decrease in density with increased distance from the active zone (Figure 3A,E)."
