Abstract excerpt
Members of the Homer family of proteins are known to form multimeric complexes capable of cross-linking plasma membrane channels (e.g. metabotropic glutamate receptor) and intracellular Ca2+ release channels (e.g. inositol trisphosphate receptor) in neurons, which potentiates Ca2+ release. Recent work has demonstrated direct interaction of Homer proteins with type 1 and type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms....
