description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within learning; memory; and regulation of long-term synaptic depression. Located in postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cochlea; genitourinary system; retina; and trigeminal ganglion. Orthologous to human SORCS3 (sortilin related VPS10 domain containing receptor 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit absent NMDA and glutamate receptor-dependent long term depression, impaired spatial learning and memory and impaired fear memory.
