Fig.3: "Immunofluorescence analysis also revealed TrkC immunoreactivity in a punctate pattern in neuropil of adult mouse brain. Moreover, TrkC puncta were apposed to VGLUT1 puncta but not to gephyrin puncta, as shown here for hippocampal CA1 region (Figures 3G-3I)."

Fig.4: "PTPσ-Fc-coated beads that contacted dendrites induced clustering of endogenous dendritic TrkC with NMDA receptor subunit NR1 (Figure 4F)."

- Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen.
