Fig. 6 Tamalin is enriched in PSD III fraction.
Literal
"We examined the postsynaptic membrane localization of tamalin and cytohesin-2 by immunoblotting of serially extracted synaptosomal membrane proteins (Fig. 6A). Both mGluR1a and PSD-95 were mostly concentrated at the PSD III fraction, whereas the presynaptic marker protein, synaptophysin, was deprived from synaptosome by detergent extraction. Both tamalin and cytohesin-2 were enriched up to the PSD II fraction but slightly and completely deprived from the PSD III fraction, respectively. The results indicated that both tamalin and cytohesin-2 are localized at postsynaptic membrane fractions and are relatively tightly and loosely associated with postsynaptic membranes, respectively."

- Authors implie that mGlur1a is predominantly localized to the postsynaptic membrane and can be considered a marker of the PSD membrane. Literal: "mGluR1a is mostly localized at the postsynaptic membrane in neuronal cells (Martin et al., 1992)." For this reason I have added PPI to the evidence section.

"S-SCAM, PSD-95, SAPAP1 were coimmunoprecipitated from rat brain membrane fractions with anti-tamalin antibody (Fig. 3A). In addition, Mint2 and CASK were immunoprecipitated, but neither Mint1 nor Veli1/2/3 was precipitated with anti-tamalin antibody (Fig. 3B)." @ PMID:12586822
