Abstract

Caldendrin is the founder member of a recently discovered family of calmodulin-like proteins, which are highly abundant in brain. In this study we examined the organization of the murine and human caldendrin gene as well as the expression pattern of transcripts for caldendrin and two novel splice variants. In addition the distribution of caldendrin in rat brain has been assessed by immunohistochemistry. Caldendrin is localized to the somatodendritic compartment of a subpopulation of mainly principal neurons in brain regions with a laminar organization and is present only at a subset of mature excitatory synapses. Caldendrin immunoreactivity (IR) is tightly associated with the cortical cytoskeleton, enriched in the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction, and associates late during development with the synaptic cytomatrix. The expression is highly heterogenous within cortex, with highest levels of caldendrin IR in layer III of the piriform and layer II/III of the somatosensory cortex. The segregated cortical distribution to areas, which represent the most important primary sensory systems of the rodent brain, may reflect different requirements for dendritic Ca2+-signaling in these neurons. The presence of caldendrin in the PSD of di...Continue Reading

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
