| Description | The 43kDa postsynaptic protein is a peripheral membrane protein thought to be involved in the anchoring or stabilisation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at synaptic sites [ ]. It may link the receptor to the postsynaptic cytoskeleton through direct association with actin or spectrin. The 43kDa protein is highly conserved across species. Two highly conserved regions, one encompassing the N terminus and the other near the C terminus, may be important for interaction of the protein with other components of the postsynaptic membrane. This entry represents the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein (after removal of the initiator methionine); the resulting N-terminal glycine is thought to be myristoylated. |
