Figure(s):Figure 3, 5
Annotation description:Figure 3, 5, 6: FGF22 coimmunoprecipitated with SDC2 in neuro2A cells and overexpressed FGF22 was localized to dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons (localization seems most concentrated at the spine tip). Postsynaptic localization was strongly reduced upon SDC2 shRNA knockdown.

Figure 4: FGF22 interacts with SDC2 via heparan sulfate conjugates and contributes to SDC2-induced presynaptic differentiation.

Figure 8: authors propose a model where FGF22 is attached to SDC2 (which is at the PSD membrane) and released from there to act on presynaptic receptors.
