Outline of Final Research Achievements |
SLITRK1 is a transmembrane protein and regulates synapse formation and neurite extension. In this study I performed functional assays for SLITRK1 mutants that derived from psychiatric disorder patients. In a series of my experiments, I revealed partial dysfunction of the mutant SLITRK1 protein in vivo and in vitro. In addition, I found a novel in vivo function of SLITRK1 for monoaminergic neurite development in early postnatal brain.
