| Annotation description: | Figure 4. Subcellular localization of CASK by immunogold EM in rat brain shows both presynaptic (a separate annotation was made for this) and postsynaptic localization. CASK seems enriched, but not exclusively located, at membranes. Authors remark that CASK is present in synapses but not synapse specific; "However, CASK is not exclusively localized in synapses; it is also present at nonsynaptic plasma membranes and in intracellular compartments. CASK may therefore be present at a variety of membrane domains in neurons, and its compartmentalization between membrane and cytoplasm may be dynamically regulated." |
