The Ingenuity® category ‘Nervous System Development and Function’ contains many genes involved in synaptic function, including those that are identified by EASE analysis. Many of these genes encode putative mRNA binding sites for proteins which regulate translation (see Table S5 for information on 3′UTR regulatory sequences).
