Collybistin

Collybistin

Collybistin is a protein much like gephyrin which is thought to aid the formation of submembrane gephyrin aggregates that accumulate hetero-oligomeric glycine receptors. Data from Nature Neuroscience 2000 suggests that the expression of collybistin regulates the membrane disposition of gephyrin by activating a GTPase of the Rho/Rac Family. Therefore this protein may be an important determinant of inhibitory postsynaptic membrane formation and plasticity.[1]
