Functional characterization of endocytic signals in the SynDIG/PRRT family members SynDIG1 and SynDIG4 in heterologous cells and neurons by David J. Speca, Chun-Wei He, Christina M. Meyer, Erin C. Scott, Erin C. Scott, Elva Díaz

“…The transmembrane protein Synapse Differentiation Induced Gene 4 (SynDIG4), also known as Proline-rich transmembrane protein 1 (PRRT1), is an AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR) auxiliary factor that is necessary for maintaining extra-synaptic pools of GluA1. Loss of SynDIG4, and the subsequent decrease in extra-synaptic GluA1, has been found to significantly impact synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. …”
