Annotation description:Noelin1 interacts with the AMPAR with high affinity (Figure 1,2), co-localizes with APMAR at the PSD in cultured hippocampal neurons (Figure 4), but does not affect AMPAR rise- and decay time nor desensitization properties (Figure 3).

Figure 5: chemical LTP induced in DIV21 primary neurons resulting in increased levels of synaptic AMPAR (surface GluA2/GRIA2) and Noelin1. Authors conclude; "Noelin1 expression is regulated in an activity-dependent manner and, therefore, might have a role in the accumulation and stabilization of synaptic AMPA receptors at the PSD."

Figure 6, S6, 7: Single-particle tracking shows that Noelin1 reduces lateral mobility of both synaptic and extra-synaptic GluA1-containing receptors and affects short-term plasticity. While the ECM does not constrain the synaptic pool of AMPARs and acts only extrasynaptically, Noelin1 contributes to synaptic potentiation by limiting AMPAR mobility at synaptic sites.
