Summary: Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; positive regulation of stress fiber assembly; and positive regulation of viral transcription. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynapse.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
