The Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Met and Its Ligand Hepatocyte Growth Factor are Clustered at Excitatory Synapses and Can Enhance Clustering of Synaptic Proteins

The receptor protein tyrosine kinase Met and its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, regulate cellular morphology, intercellular adhesion, and interactions among junctional proteins in numerous cell types. However, they have not been extensively studied in the central nervous system. We report that…
