PSD-proteins

PSD-proteins
Family of postsynaptic density proteins containing PDZ domains and apparently responsible for the clustering of receptors. The PSD-95 protein is responsible for the clustering of NMDA receptors and K+ channels, a similar protein is responsible for the formation of synaptic complexes.
