Biological Function Seems to be an adapter protein in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses that interconnects receptors of the postsynaptic membrane including NMDA-type and metabotropic glutamate receptors, and the actin-based cytoskeleton. May play a role in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction. {PubMed:10506216}.
Research Areas Neuroscience
Background Shank proteins are a family of scaffold proteins identified through their interaction with a variety of membrane and cyto- plasmic proteins. Shank proteins at postsynaptic sites of excitatory synapses play roles in signal transmission into the postsynaptic neuron. Shank proteins are crucial in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling. Shank2 is expressed in neurons of the developing retina and could play a role in neuronal differentiation of the developing retina. Recent studies suggest that disruption of glutamate receptors at the Shank-postsynaptic platform could contribute to the destruction of post-synaptic density which underlies synaptic dysfunction and loss in Alzheimer's disease.
