CD44: a novel synaptic cell adhesion molecule regulating structural and functional plasticity of dendritic spines

CD44 is a novel molecular player that regulates structure and function of the synapse. It affects excitatory synaptic transmission, dendritic spine shape, number of functional synapses, and activity-dependent neuronal plasticity. These functions are exerted via the regulation of small Rho GTPases.
