Understanding your inhibitions: effects of GABA and GABAA receptor modulation on brain cortical metabolism.

abstract：:Semaphorins are a family of secreted and membrane-associated proteins involved in growth cone guidance during development. Here, we describe the interaction of Semaphorin4F (Sema4F) with the post-synaptic density protein SAP90/PSD-95. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and coprecipitation assays we were able to show an...
