Also known as SSTRIPSPANK-1synamon
Summary
SHANK1 (SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 1, HGNC:15474) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.33, encoding SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains protein 1 (Q9Y566). 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 via complexes with GKAP/PSD-95 and Homer, respectively, and the actin-based….
This gene encodes a member of the SHANK (SH3 domain and ankyrin repeat containing) family of proteins. Members of this family act as scaffold proteins that are required for the development and function of neuronal synapses. Deletions in this gene may be associated with autism spectrum disorder in males.

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 via complexes with GKAP/PSD-95 and Homer, respectively, and the actin-based cytoskeleton. Plays a role in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction.
Subunit / interactions. May homomultimerize via its SAM domain. Interacts with the C-terminus of SSTR2 via the PDZ domain. Interacts with IGSF9, SHARPIN, SPTAN1, HOMER1 and DLGAP1/GKAP isoforms 1 and 2. Part of a complex with DLG4/PSD-95 and DLGAP1/GKAP. Interacts with BAIAP2. Interacts with HOMER1 and HOMER3.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Postsynaptic density. Synapse.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain particularly in the amygdala, hippocampus, substantia nigra and thalamus. Isoform 2 seems to be expressed ubiquitously.
Similarity. Belongs to the SHANK family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 177 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
