Abstract

Neuronal proteins contain "address labels" that govern their localization. In this issue of Neuron, Farías et al. (2012) identify the machinery that recognizes one class of dendritic localization signals and establish its role in the polarization of dendritic proteins, including several postsynaptic receptors.
