The role of DHHC5-mediated palmitoylation of delta-catenin in cadherin stability and synapse plasticity

Synapses of the Central Nervous System are specialized junctions of cell-cell contact that transmit signals from one neuron to another in a rapid and efficient manner. Synapses are highly plastic structures that can be continually modified in response to fluctuations in neuronal activity. Changes in...
