Our Neuromab PSD-95 antibody is KO validated and is the most highly-cited PSD-95 antibody for IHC, ICC, & WB!
Immunofluorescence of cultured rat hippocampal neurons labeled with PSD-95 (green, cat. 75-028) and Kv4.2 (red, cat. 75-016).
Found at postsynaptic densities of excitatory neurons, PSD-95 plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and the stabilization of synaptic changes during long-term potentiation.
Encoded by DLG4, Postsynaptic Density Protein-95 (PSD-95) functions as a major scaffold protein that can cluster membrane receptors, ion channels, including NMDA receptor subunits, Kv1 potassium channels and Caspr2. PSD-95 has the unique ability to interact with a large number of proteins through three PDZ domains, followed by SH3 and GK domains. PSD-95 is highly regulated by phosphorylation. PSD-95 disruption has been associated with cognitive and learning deficits such as Alzheimer’s, depression, schizophrenia, and autism.
