Predicted to enable several functions, including scaffold protein binding activity; transmembrane transporter binding activity; and type 5 metabotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of postsynapse. Involved in regulation of monoatomic ion transport and regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to cocaine; skeletal muscle contraction; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; myofibril; and postsynapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HOMER1 (homer scaffold protein 1).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants exhibit an increase in spontaneous calcium influx in pancreatic acinar cells. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased response to formalin-induced pain. [provided by MGI curators]
