Cell surface receptor interactome related to forgetting
Project Description
We uncovered the mechanisms of memory forgetting in Drosphila, which involves cell surface receptor Kek2. The proteome analysis of Kek2 revealed various proteins interacting with Kek2. This project is to confirm the direct interaction in cell culture system.
