SHISA9 Antibody

Shisa proteins are a recently-identified family of modulators of both FGF and Wnt signaling that block both maturation and transport to the cell surface of their respective receptors. SHISA9, also known as CKAMP44a, is a brain-specific type I transmembrane protein that associates with AMPA receptors in synaptic spines and promotes AMPA receptor desensitization at excitatory synapses. It is thought to modulate short-term plasticity at specific excitatory synapses.
