General description

As a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family, PSD93 (also known as Chapsyn-110) binds directly to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and the Shaker K+ channel subunits. It shares 70-80% homology with PSD-95 (SAP90), and SAP97. Like PSD-95, PSD93 plays a key role in postsynaptic targeting. Aside from binding to glutamate receptors, the MAGUK family of proteins also interacts with cell surface structures, like cell adhesion molecules, ion channels, cytoskeletal elements, and signal transduction molecules. Improper PSD93 signaling has been implicated in certain disease states, such as schizophrenia.
