There is plenty of indirect evidence that the postsynaptic density (PSD)-95 protein is involved in the clustering and, perhaps, targeting of postsynaptic proteins. Direct evidence was lacking, but PSD-95 knockout mice have now arrived, and their properties support a clustering function. However, knocking out PSD-95 also disrupts synaptic plasticity, and this could mean that PSD-95 acts as a kind of scaffold protein.
