Synonyms | CORTBP1, KIAA1022, PROSAP1 |
Function | Seems to be an adapter protein in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses that interconnects receptors of the postsynaptic membrane including NMDA-type and metabotropic glutamate receptors, and the actin-based cytoskeleton. May play a role in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction. |
Cellular Location | Apical cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Synapse. Postsynaptic density. Cell projection, growth cone. Cell projection, dendritic spine. Note=Colocalizes with cortactin in growth cones in differentiating hippocampal neurons Colocalized with PDE4D to the apical membrane of colonic crypt cells (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | Isoform 3 is present in epithelial colonic cells (at protein level). |

Background
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the Shank family of synaptic proteins that may function as molecular scaffolds in the postsynaptic density (PSD). Shank proteins contain multiple domains for protein-protein interaction, including ankyrin repeats, an SH3 domain, a PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 domain, a sterile alpha motif domain, and a proline-rich region. This particular family member contains a PDZ domain, a consensus sequence for cortactin SH3 domain-binding peptides and a sterile alpha motif. The alternative splicing demonstrated in Shank genes has been suggested as a mechanism for regulating the molecular structure of Shank and the spectrum of Shank-interacting proteins in the PSDs of adult and developing brain. Two alternative splice variants, encoding distinct isoforms, are reported. Additional splice variants exist but their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq].
