| Primary Identifier | MGI:2671987 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 210274 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and social behavior. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Colocalizes with neurofilament and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human SHANK2 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null mutations display hyperactivity and abnormal social behavior. Mice homozygous for one null allele also display partial postnal lethality and limb grasping.
