| Annotation description: | The figure shows the synaptic co-localization of mTOR with synapse in hippocampal neurons (P2; 14 DIV), furthermore mTOR colocalize with PSD-95, postsynaptic marker. 24/9/2017 Pim - Literal: "The mTOR-positive regions were observed in the dendritic shaft in a diffuse pattern that extended into synaptic regions (Fig. (Fig.33Al). Consistent with the notion of postsynaptic localization of these proteins, double labeling with PSD-95 showed the signals from eIF-4E, 4E-BP1, and mTOR at synaptic regions almost completely overlapped with PSD-95 signals." |

| Additional literature: | eIF4E-BP1 is detected in the growth cones of retinal explants by immunofluorescence microscopy (Fig 3B), i.e., the protein can also be axonal. @ PMID:25886013 eIF4E-BP1 is deteced in sciatic nerve preparations by immunofluorescence microscopy (Fig 9), i.e., the protein can also be axonal. @ PMID:26180210 |
