Synaptogenesis: The MAP location of GABA receptors.
Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) have been identified as binding partners for ionotropic GABAA and GABAC receptors. These interactions suggest a potential role for MAPs in the cytoskeletal anchoring of receptor-ion channels at specific subcellular sites, such as synapses.
