The c-terminal region of reelin is necessary for proper positioning of a subset of purkinje cells in the postnatal cerebellum

Highlights • Tens of Purkinje cells are located ectopically in mice that lack the Reelin C-terminal region. • Ectopic PCs are selectively found in the lobule VI/VII and often form clusters. • Insufficient cell-autonomous Reelin signaling is likely to cause the ectopicity. • Reelin protein with intact CTR binds preferentially to Purkinje cells.
