Figure(s):Table S2
Annotation description:A total of 296 proteins were identified in a PSD preparation from forebrain or cerebellum by LC-MS/MS. Among these neurocan (CSPG3) was identified.
As neurocan is generally described as extracellular matrix components we consider the protein as part of the perisynaptic or synaptic extracellular matrix.
