Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in long-term memory; regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and endoderm development. Located in dendritic spine; membrane raft; and neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; metanephros; pancreas mesenchyme; and retina. Orthologous to human ARC (activity regulated cytoskeleton associated protein).
