Summary: Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane and postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor diffusion trapping. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; neuromuscular junction development; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in somatodendritic compartment. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; ileum; spinal cord; and trigeminal nerve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 10. Orthologous to human CACNG2 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 2).

the entire tail of stargazin (Stg_CT) is required for binding to PSD-95. Stargazin in complex with PSD-95 or PSD-95-assembled postsynaptic complexes form highly concentrated and dynamic condensates via phase separation, reminiscent of stargazin/PSD-95-mediated AMPAR synaptic clustering and trapping.

The results from the current study demonstrate that there is an aberrant tissue expression of GABAAR alpha1 and beta2 subunits in the thalamus of PN7-9 juvenile stargazer mice, but that this early change equilibrates during later developmental stages (PN10-12 and PN13-15).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
