Proteins of axonal transport: investigation of solubility characteristics and behaviour in gel filtration.

abstract：:Kainate receptors (KARs) have been described as modulators of synaptic transmission at different synapses. However, this role of KARs has not been well characterized in the amygdala. We have explored the effect of kainate receptor activation at the synapse established between fibers originating at medial geniculate nu...
