Research progress on palmitoylation of postsynaptic density protein 95 / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Postsynaptic density protein 95(PSD-95) ,the most abundant and significant synapse scaffolding protein at excitatory synapses ,is a hallmark of synaptic function. Proteins palmitoylation is one of the important post-translational modifications ,which is occurred more frequently in the nervous system than in other organs. Palmitoylation-dependent regulation of PSD-95 has become a research hotspot in the fields of neuroplasticity and neuropsychiatric diseases.
