UniProt functional annotation for Q68DU8

UniProt code: Q68DU8.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Auxiliary subunit of GABA-B receptors that determine the pharmacology and kinetics of the receptor response. Increases agonist potency and markedly alter the G-protein signaling of the receptors by accelerating onset and promoting desensitization (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5DTY9}.
 
Subunit: Homopentamer; forms an open pentamer (PubMed:28963344). In contrast to other BTB domain-containing proteins, does not interact with CUL3 (PubMed:28963344). Interacts as a tetramer with GABRB1 and GABRB2. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5DTY9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28963344}.
Subcellular location: Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5DTY9}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA92555.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
