Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Allele · See more »

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, is a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Alternative splicing · See more »

AMPA receptor

The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (also known as AMPA receptor, AMPAR, or quisqualate receptor) is an ionotropic transmembrane receptor for glutamate that mediates fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS).

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Axon · See more »

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.

Cofilin

ADF/cofilin is a family of actin-binding proteins which disassembles actin filaments.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Cofilin · See more »

Dendritic spine

A dendritic spine (or spine) is a small membranous protrusion from a neuron's dendrite that typically receives input from a single axon at the synapse.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Dendritic spine · See more »

DLG3

Disks large homolog 3 (DLG3) also known as neuroendocrine-DLG or synapse-associated protein 102 (SAP-102) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLG3 gene.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and DLG3 · See more »

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Dominance (genetics) · See more »

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Epilepsy · See more »

Excitatory postsynaptic potential

In neuroscience, an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Excitatory postsynaptic potential · See more »

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Gene · See more »

Intellectual disability

Intellectual disability (ID), also known as general learning disability, and mental retardation (MR), is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Intellectual disability · See more »

MAPK/ERK pathway

The MAPK/ERK pathway (also known as the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway) is a chain of proteins in the cell that communicates a signal from a receptor on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and MAPK/ERK pathway · See more »

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Meiosis · See more »

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Mutation · See more »

NMDA receptor

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and ion channel protein found in nerve cells.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and NMDA receptor · See more »

Phosphorylation

In chemistry, phosphorylation of a molecule is the attachment of a phosphoryl group.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Phosphorylation · See more »

Postsynaptic density

The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a protein dense specialization attached to the postsynaptic membrane.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Postsynaptic density · See more »

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Protein · See more »

Protein–protein interaction

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are the physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by electrostatic forces including the hydrophobic effect.

Ras subfamily

Ras is a family of related proteins which is expressed in all animal cell lineages and organs.

New!!: SYNGAP1 and Ras subfamily · See more »

Silent synapse

In neuroscience, a silent synapse is an excitatory glutamatergic synapse whose postsynaptic membrane contains NMDA-type glutamate receptors but no AMPA-type glutamate receptors.

ULK1

ULK1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ULK1 gene.
