Function |
Neuronal calcium sensor, regulator of G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation in a calcium dependent manner. Directly regulates GRK1 (RHOK), but not GRK2 to GRK5. Can substitute for calmodulin (By similarity). Stimulates PI4KB kinase activity (By similarity). Involved in long-term synaptic plasticity through its interaction with PICK1 (By similarity). May also play a role in neuron differentiation through inhibition of the activity of N- type voltage-gated calcium channel (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Location |
Golgi apparatus, Golgi stack membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane, postsynaptic density {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Associated with Golgi stacks. Post-synaptic densities of dendrites, and in the pre-synaptic nerve terminal at neuromuscular junctions.
