FMRP(1–297)-tat restores ion channel and synaptic function in a model of Fragile X syndrome

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein regulates synaptic plasticity and its loss results in Fragile X Syndrome. Here, the authors show that the FMRP(1-297)-tat peptide can permeate the BBB, restore protein translation and mossy fiber LTP, and reduce elevated levels of activity in Fmr1 KO mice.
