MD-Project

"Investigation of the VILIP-1/GC-B signalling complex and its role in synaptic plasticity"

Synopsis

VILIP 1 is a neuronal calcium sensor protein that is prominently expressed in the hippocampus. It is known that it has a regulatory function on the surface expression and activity of neuronal receptors like the nicotinic ACh receptor and the membrane standing guanylyl cyclase B. In my project the functional implication of VILIP 1 on synaptic plasticity via the guanyly cyclase B will be investigated by whole-cell patch clamp technique of dissociated hippocampal neurons overexpressing VILIP 1.
