Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin binding activity and synaptic receptor adaptor activity. Involved in sensory perception of sound. Acts upstream of or within behavioral response to cocaine; calcium-mediated signaling using intracellular calcium source; and regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Located in apical part of cell; cytoplasm; and stereocilium tip. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranial nerve; jaw; sensory organ; and tongue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 68. Orthologous to human HOMER2 (homer scaffold protein 2).
