Annotated paper:Haeberle AM, et al. "Immunogold localization of phocein in dendritic spines" J Comp Neurol. 2006 Mar 20;495(3):336-50 PMID:16440294
Figure(s):Figures 3-10
Annotation description:Figures 3-10: extensive immunogold EM showed Phocein (MOB4) localization to postsynapses (but never presynaptic terminals). subcellular localization was observed throughout the dendritic spine.

authors summarize;
"The present immunocytochemical study shows that phocein is strictly targeted to the dendritic spines of hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cells that establish asymmetric synapses with excitatory afferents in the adult brain."
