Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including D2 dopamine receptor binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in cellular response to morphine; regulation of opioid receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament organization; calcium-mediated signaling; and dendrite development. Located in cortical actin cytoskeleton and filopodium. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; connective tissue; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human PPP1R9B (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 9B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit abnormal glutamatergic synaptic transmission, reduced long-term depression, resistance to kainate-induced seizures, impaired taste aversion learning, and increased dendritic spine density.
