This gene was identified by TADA (transmission and de novo association) analysis of a combined dataset from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) and the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC) as a gene strongly enriched for variants likely to affect ASD risk with a false discovery rate (FDR) of <0.1 (Sanders et al., 2015); among the variants identified in this gene was one de novo loss-of-function (LoF) variant.
Molecular Function
Binds to type II regulatory subunits of protein kinase A. Scaffolding protein that assembles several protein kinases and phosphatases on the centrosome and Golgi apparatus. May be required to maintain the integrity of the Golgi apparatus. Isoform4is associated with the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and is specifically found in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) as well as in neuronal synapses, suggesting a role in the organization of postsynaptic specializations.
