| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; long-term synaptic potentiation; and memory. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in brain; ganglia; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human SLITRK4 (SLIT and NTRK like family member 4). PHENOTYPE: Hemizygous null male mice display enhanced fear memory acquisition, reduced social investigation, enhanced long-term potentiation, and abnormalities in interneurons in the amygdala.
