Summary
This gene encodes a protein with a Lon protease domain, a "regulators of G protein-signaling" (RGS)-like domain and a leucine zipper. It has been proposed to regulate the assembly and surface expression of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in brain and to bind thalidomide. In humans mutation in this gene causes autosomal recessive nonsyndromic cognitive disability. In mouse deficiency of this gene serves as a model to study the molecular mechanisms governing learning and memory as they relate to intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
