Homer Gene

Case ID:
C03237

C03237: Homer Gene

Value Proposition:

Published as: Homer: a protein that selectively binds metabotropic glutamate receptors. Nature. 1997 Mar 20;386(6622):284-8.

Technical Details:

A novel family of proteins are present in the mammalian central nervous system. These proteins are particularly characterized by (i) their enhanced expression in mammalian central nervous tissue in response to synaptic activation, and (ii) a novel PDZ-like binding domain. The new protein family is exemplified by a rat protein, termed "Homer". Other

Looking for Partners:

This technology can potentiall be used as a research tool for neuroscience studies.
