Our Neuromab PSD-95 antibody is KO validated and is the most highly-cited PSD-95 antibody for IHC, ICC, & WB!

PSD95 IF

Immunofluorescence of cultured rat hippocampal neurons labeled with PSD-95 (green, cat. 75-028) and Kv4.2 (red, cat. 75-016).

Found at postsynaptic densities of excitatory neurons, PSD-95 plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and the stabilization of synaptic changes during long-term potentiation.

Encoded by DLG4, Postsynaptic Density Protein-95 (PSD-95) functions as a major scaffold protein that can cluster membrane receptors, ion channels, including NMDA receptor subunits, Kv1 potassium channels and Caspr2. PSD-95 has the unique ability to interact with a large number of proteins through three PDZ domains, followed by SH3 and GK domains. PSD-95 is highly regulated by phosphorylation. PSD-95 disruption has been associated with cognitive and learning deficits such as Alzheimer’s, depression, schizophrenia, and autism.

PSD95 WB

Western blot of adult rat brain membranes (RBM) and adult mouse hippocampal membranes (MHM) from PSD-95 and -93 knockout (KO) mice probed with PSD-95 (cat. 75-028). Mouse samples courtesy of Richard Huganir (Johns Hopkins University, Howard Hughes Medical Institute).
