Research Abstract

Telencephalin is specifically expressed by spiny neurons within the telencephalon and abundantly localized to dendritic filopodia. We identified an extracellular matrix molecule, vitronectin, as a specific ligand for telencephalin. When vitronectin-coated beads were added to cultured hippocampal neurons, they adhered onto dendrites and strongly induced telencephalin accumulation. Then, we performed proteomic analysis of neuronal complex bound to vitronectin-coated beads. We determined several signaling molecules localized to dendritic filopodia.
