| Annotation description: | Figure 4: Confocal imaging of hippocampal neuronal cultures with co-staining for Homer1c-mCherry and Epsn2-mCherry (EPN2, Epsin 2) show this protein is localized at the postsynapse, albeit less frequently than some other endocytic proteins. Figure 5: time-lapse experiments on neurons co-expressing Homer1c and fluorophore-tagged Epsn2 showed transient association with endocytic zones near the PSD, i.e. its average lifetime at perisynaptic sites was significantly lower compared to the average lifetime of CLCa. |
