Background

V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 5 (VSTM5) is a cell-adhesion like molecule that belongs to the Ig superfamily.  This molecule is expressed in hippocampal neurons.  It regulates neuronal morphology by promoting dendritic protrusions that develop into dendritic spines.  VSTM5 is a novel factor involved in the modulation of the neuronal membrane and a critical element in normal neuronal circuit formation.  It is one of the target genes responsible for variations in patient responses to treatments for major depressive disorder. Overexpression of VSTM5 in utero delays neuronal migration and induces multiple branches in leading processes during corticogenesis.  Glycosylation at individual N-linked glycosylation sites (Asn43, Asn87, Asn101, and Asn108) not only play essential roles in surface expression of VSTM5 but also in the formation of neuronal dendritic filopodia.
