Annotation description:Figure 6c,d: "Immunogold labeling for anti-mGluR2 immunoreactivity in the frontal cortex of 5-HT2AR+/+ and 5-HT2AR-/- mice (n = 4 mice per genotype and 25 to 35 synapses per mouse). Representative photomicrographs showing excitatory synapses in mouse frontal cortex (C). Quantification of relative distribution of gold particles within postsynaptic spines"

"Overall, ~90% of labeled synapses showed gold particles associated within the postsynaptic element, although a small population of synapses contained gold particles limited to its presynaptic compartment"

Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen.
