Anti-Homer1 antibody [EPR23178-35] - BSA and Azide free,Abcam,AB269952

Target data Postsynaptic density scaffolding protein. Binds and cross-links cytoplasmic regions of GRM1, GRM5, ITPR1, DNM3, RYR1, RYR2, SHANK1 and SHANK3. By physically linking GRM1 and GRM5 with ER-associated ITPR1 receptors, it aids the coupling of surface receptors to intracellular calcium release. May also couple GRM1 to PI3 kinase through its interaction with AGAP2. Isoform 1 regulates the trafficking and surface expression of GRM5. Differentially regulates the functions of the calcium activated channel ryanodine receptors RYR1 and RYR2. Isoform 1 decreases the activity of RYR2, and increases the activity of RYR1, whereas isoform 5 counteracts the effects by competing for binding sites. Isoform 3 regulates the trafficking and surface expression of GRM5. Isoform 5 acts as a natural dominant negative, in dynamic competition with constitutively expressed isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 3 to regulate synaptic metabotropic glutamate function. Isoform 5, may be involved in the structural changes that occur at synapses during long-lasting neuronal plasticity and development (By similarity). Forms a high-order complex with SHANK1, which in turn is necessary for the structural and functional integrity of dendritic spines (By similarity). Negatively regulates T cell activation by inhibiting the calcineurin-NFAT pathway. Acts by competing with calcineurin/PPP3CA for NFAT protein binding, hence preventing NFAT activation by PPP3CA (By similarity). See full target information Homer1
