Matrix metalloproteinases regulate the formation of dendritic spine head protrusions during chemically induced long-term potentiation.

Matrix metalloproteinases regulate the formation of dendritic spine head protrusions during chemically induced long-term potentiation.

Dendritic spines are are small membranous protrusions that extend from neuronal dendrites and harbor the majority of excitatory synapses. Increasing evidence has shown that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of extracellularly acting and Zn(2+)-dependent endopeptidases, are able to rapidly m...
