Pick1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including Arp2/3 complex binding activity; SNAP receptor activity; and glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendritic spine maintenance; long-term synaptic depression; and regulation of receptor internalization. Located in dendritic spine; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and postsynaptic density. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic endocytic zone; and synaptic vesicle. Orthologous to human PICK1 (protein interacting with PRKCA 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Pick1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
