Primary Identifier | MGI:1919805 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 72555 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables PDZ domain binding activity. Involved in regulation of short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity. Located in dendritic spine membrane; postsynaptic density; and postsynaptic membrane. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human SHISA9 (shisa family member 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced AMPA-mediated synaptic currents in retinogeniculate and corticogeniculate synapses, enhanced paired-pulse facilitation in retinogeniculate synapses and decreased synaptic depression.
