SHANK1 Seems to be an adapter protein in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses that interconnects receptors of the postsynaptic membrane including NMDA-type and metabotropic glutamate receptors via complexes with GKAP/PSD-95 and Homer, respectively, and the actin-based cytoskeleton. Plays a role in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction. Belongs to the SHANK family. Expressed in brain particularly in the amygdala, hippocampus, substantia nigra and thalamus. Isoform 2 seems to be expressed ubiquitously. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
