About Homer2

Summary

Enables G protein-coupled glutamate receptor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled glutamate receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; and negative regulation of interleukin-2 production. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to cocaine; calcium-mediated signaling using intracellular calcium source; and chemical homeostasis within a tissue. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 68. Orthologous to human HOMER2 (homer scaffold protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
