To isolate synaptosomal and cytosolic fractions from brain regions of interest, the Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used. The isolated synaptosomes were lysed in the N-PER Neuronal Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) prior to any downstream applications, and all extraction reagents were supplemented with Pierce Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Mini Tablets (Thermo Fisher Scientific), as previously described [14 (link)]. We previously validated the efficacy of the synaptosomal/cytosolic extraction method by probing for proteins that are enriched in the corresponding fractions [14 (link)].
