General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction inhibition of G9a/GLP in the entorhinal cortex (EC), but not in the hippocampus, enhances contextual fear conditioning relative to control animals. Downregulation of G9a/GLP activity in the EC enhances histone H3(K9) dimethylation in hippocampus area CA1, resulting in transcriptional silencing of the non-memory permissive gene COMT in the hippocampus Rattus norvegicus
physiological function G9a/GLP activity is critical for hippocampus-dependent long-term potentiation initiated in the entorhinal cortex via the perforant pathway, but not the temporoammonic pathway. G9a/GLP histone lysine dimethyltransferase complex activity in the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex is required for gene activation and silencing during memory consolidation Rattus norvegicus
