Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity and scaffold protein binding activity. A structural constituent of postsynaptic density. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including MAPK cascade; negative regulation of actin filament bundle assembly; and regulation of AMPA glutamate receptor clustering. Located in neuron spine and plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system. Used to study Phelan-McDermid syndrome; autism spectrum disorder; and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Phelan-McDermid syndrome and schizophrenia 15. Orthologous to human SHANK3 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 3).
