Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity and synaptic receptor adaptor activity. A structural constituent of postsynaptic density. Involved in several processes, including dendritic spine morphogenesis; learning or memory; and righting reflex. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on AMPA selective glutamate receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of actin filament bundle assembly. Located in dendritic spine; excitatory synapse; and plasma membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Colocalizes with postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; frontal cortex; neocortex region; organ of Corti; and utricle epithelium. Orthologous to human SHANK1 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 1).
