Rabbit Anti-Neurogranin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Neurogranin (NRGN) is the human homolog of the neuron-specific rat RC3/neurogranin gene. This gene encodes a postsynaptic protein kinase substrate that binds calmodulin in the absence of calcium. The NRGN gene contains four exons and three introns. The exons 1 and 2 encode the protein and exons 3 and 4 contain untranslated sequences. It is suggested that the NRGN is a direct target for thyroid hormone in human brain, and that control of expression of this gene could underlay many of the consequences of hypothyroidism on mental states during development as well as in adult subjects.

Function:
Acts as a "third messenger" substrate of protein kinase SLCmediated molecular cascades during synaptic development and remodeling. Binds to calmodulin in the absence of calcium.
Tissue Specificity:
In the cerebral cortex, found in the cell bodies of neurons in layers II-VI, and in apical and basal dendrites of pyramidal neurons. Is not found in the dendrites in patients with Alzheimer disease.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated at Ser-36 by PHK
Similarity:
Belongs to the neurogranin family.
Contains 1 collagen-like domain.
Contains 1 IQ domain.
