| Comments | Review article. Synapse proteomics has recently resulted in a quantum leap in knowledge of the protein composition of brain synapses and its phosphorylation. See O'rourke et al., 2012 PMID 22573027 p.366 box 1 4th paragraph:"Over 1,000 different protein isoforms from several major families of adhesion proteins are thought to span the synaptic cleft [refs 80–85 therein]. Therefore, the adhesion proteins contribute greatly to synaptic complexity." |
