ABSTRACT:
The present invention enabled the detection and quantification of CAST, which is localized to synapses and tightly bound to the cytomatrix, and of the mRNA encoding the CAST. Furthermore, it was revealed that CAST functions as a protein scaffold for localizing RIM1 to synapses, contributing as a molecular basis for active zone formation.
