Abstract
Leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) are 20-29-aa motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions and are present in a variety of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. Many LRR proteins with neuronal functions have been reported. Here, we summarize an emerging group of synaptic LRR proteins, which includes densin-180, Erbin, NGL, SALM, and LGI1. These proteins have been implicated in the formation, differentiation, maintenance, and plasticity of neuronal synapses. 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
