| Annotated paper: | Feng B, et al. "Planar cell polarity signaling components are a direct target of beta-amyloid-associated degeneration of glutamatergic synapses" Sci Adv. 2021 Aug 18;7(34):eabh2307 PMID:34407949 |
| Figure(s): | Figure 1 |
| Annotation description: | Figure 1B: superresolution microscopy (3D-STORM) showed that Vangl2 colocalized with postsynaptic marker PSD-95 but not with the presynaptic marker Bassoon. Based on the known transmembrane topology of this protein, "integral component of ... membrane" term was selected. As also depicted by authors in Figure 1C. |
