description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of presynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; positive regulation of synapse assembly; and synapse organization. Located in cell surface. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; bladder; central nervous system; neural retina; and peripheral nervous system. Orthologous to human SLITRK3 (SLIT and NTRK like family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out mice exhibit reduced inhibitory synapse density, decreased miniature inhibitory postsynaptic current frequency and increased susceptibility to spontaneous and pharmacologically-induced seizures.
