Summary: Enables calmodulin binding activity; phosphatidic acid binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity. Involved in associative learning; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and telencephalon development. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine head; neuronal cell body; and trans-Golgi network transport vesicle membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Biomarker of hypothyroidism and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human NRGN (neurogranin).

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.
