| Annotation description: | vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB) is a known ER protein (PMID:26899735). Figure 1: SIM super-resolution microscopy of cultured rat hippocampal neurons showed VAPB localized to the postsynaptic compartment (identified by immunostaining for dendrites with MAP2 and PSD95/DLG4). Figure 1e: VAPB and PTPIP51 are present in synaptoneurosome biochemical fractions prepared from rat brain. |
