MeSH definition : A neuronal protein consisting of three PDZ DOMAINS, an SH3 DOMAIN, and a C-terminal
guanylate kinase-like region (see MAGUK PROTEINS). It localizes to the POST-SYNAPTIC
DENSITY and associates with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA RECEPTORS and SHAKER POTASSIUM
CHANNELS, playing a critical role in NMDA receptor-mediated SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY.;
MeSH synonym : Postsynaptic Density Protein 95; Discs Large Homolog 4 Protein; SAP-90 Protein; SAP 90 Protein; PSD95 Protein; PSD-95 Protein; PSD 95 Protein; Synapse-Associated Protein 90; Synapse Associated Protein 90; SAP90 Protein;
