Annotation description:Figure 4: Olfm2-KO mice Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) recording showed a significant reduction in the amplitude of the first negative wave (n1), the primary wave at the visual cortex evoked by an illuminative input to the eyes, in Olfm2-KOLacZ as compared with their WT littermates (Fig. 4A, B).

authors conclude:
"Olfm2, similar to Olfm1, interacted with the GluR2 subunit of the AMPAR complexes and Olfm2 co-segregated with the AMPA receptor subunit GluR2 and other synaptic proteins in the synaptosomal membrane fraction upon biochemical fractionation of adult mice cortex and retina. Immunoprecipitation from the synaptosomal membrane fraction of Olfm2 null mouse brain cortex using the GluR2 antibody showed reduced levels of several components of the AMPAR complex in the immunoprecipitates including Olfm1, PSD95 and CNIH2.

These results suggest that heterodimers of Olfm1 and Olfm2 interact with AMPAR more efficiently than Olfm2 homodimers and that Olfm2 plays a role in the organization of the AMPA receptor complexes."
