Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in learning or memory; protein localization to synapse; and regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of excitatory postsynaptic potential and receptor localization to synapse. Located in excitatory synapse and postsynaptic density. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; metencephalon lateral wall; and retina inner nuclear layer. Orthologous to human NETO1 (neuropilin and tolloid like 1).
