Primary Identifier | MGI:2685104 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 238276 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables adenylate cyclase binding activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including neuronal ion channel clustering; postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor cycle; and synapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amylase secretion; cellular response to calcium ion; and cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in cytoskeleton; dendrite; and plasma membrane. Is active in postsynaptic recycling endosome. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human AKAP5 (A-kinase anchoring protein 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced long term potentiation, improved glucose handling and heightened insulin sensitivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
