Background
This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein family, with an N-terminal PDZ domain, a central src homology 3 region (SH3), and a C-terminal guanylate kinase-like (GUK) domain. The protein is localized to the outer limiting membrane in the retina, and is thought to function in photoreceptor polarity and the organization of specialized intercellular junctions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:May play a role in retinal photoreceptors development.,similarity:Belongs to the MAGUK family.,similarity:Contains 1 guanylate kinase-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH3 domain.,similarity:Contains 2 L27 domains.,subcellular location:Detected at the outer limiting membrane (OLM) and in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) of the retina. At the OLM, detected apical to the adherens junction (AJ).,subunit:Interacts with MPDZ. May interact with GRIA2 (By similarity). Forms a complex with CRB1 and MPP5.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the retina (at protein level). Highly expressed in the retina. Lower amounts are detected in brain, testis, ARPE-19, RPE/choroid and fetal eye. Isoform 5 is retina-specific.,
