Gene information for HOMER3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9454
Official gene symbolHOMER3
Full namehomer homolog 3 (Drosophila)
Aliases,HOMER-3,VESL3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the HOMER family of postsynaptic density scaffolding proteins that share a similar domain structure consisting of an N-terminal Enabled/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein homology 1 domain which mediates protein-protein interactions, and a carboxy-terminal coiled-coil domain and two leucine zipper motifs that are involved in self-oligomerization. The encoded protein binds numerous other proteins including group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and amyloid precursor proteins and has been implicated in diverse biological functions such as neuronal signaling, T-cell activation and trafficking of amyloid beta peptides. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
