Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and social behavior. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Colocalizes with neurofilament and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in cerebellum; cerebral cortex; frontal cortex; neocortex; and neocortex region. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder.
