Shisa6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity and ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including excitatory chemical synaptic transmission; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in asymmetric, glutamatergic, excitatory synapse. Predicted to be part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Predicted to be active in dendritic spine membrane; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Orthologous to human SHISA6 (shisa family member 6).

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 Shisa6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
