General description

Shank1, Shank2, and Shank3 make up a family of proteins that may function as molecular scaffolds in the postsynaptic density (PSD). Shank contains multiple domains for protein-protein interaction including ankyrin repeats, an SH3 domain, a PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 domain, a sterile α motif domain, and a proline-rich region. Alternative splicing in the Shank family may be a mechanism that regulates the molecular structure of Shank and the spectrum of Shank-interacting proteins in the PSDs of adult and developing brain.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein consisting of SH3/PDZ domain of rat Shank2.
