Synaptic plasticity: TARP target

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 17, 671 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.146 Author: Sian Lewis Long-term potentiation (LTP) at excitatory hippocampal synapses involves the postsynaptic insertion of AMPA receptors triggered by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II (CaMKII)-mediated protein phosphorylation, but the CaMKII substrate remains unclear. Here, mice expressing a mutant form of auxiliary transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein γ8 (TARP
