Example sentences for: postsynaptic
How can you use “postsynaptic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Some types of synaptic plasticity, such as LTP, require activation of the NMDA receptor, postsynaptic Ca 2+ion influx with concomitant activation of CaMKII [ 63].
We observed an enrichment of D-AKAP1 at the postsynaptic membrane, as shown by codistribution with nAChR (fig.
Approximately 90% of all neurons in the striatum - 1.5 to 2.5 million in mice [ 1, 2] and 110-200 million in humans [ 3, 4] - belong to an unusual type 'of inhibitory projection cell referred to as medium spiny neurons [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Striatal neurons are divided into two major subpopulations (patch and matrix), that have somewhat different gene expression profiles and have different patterns of pre- and postsynaptic connections [ 9 10 11 12 13 ] .
A previous report using immunofluorescence demonstrated colocalization of RIα with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) at the NMJ postsynaptic membrane [ 19 ] . We used immunohistochemistry coupled with confocal microscopy to acquire detailed information as to the intracellular localization of D-AKAP1 in the several regions of the NMJ and adjacent intercostal muscle to compare with that of RIα.
Selected AKAPs have been identified that can interact with both PKA and PKC [ 12 13 ] . For example, it was shown that AKAP 79 maintains PKA, PKC, and protein phosphatase 2B at the postsynaptic density of mammalian synapses [ 14 12 ] . Likewise, gravin, a second PKA/PKC anchoring protein, targets these kinases to the membrane cytoskeleton [ 13 ] . AKAP79, gravin, and its mouse homolog clone 72 thus belong to the recently identified class of scaffolding proteins that coordinate multiple kinase activity by bringing them to one site.
