Summary: Enables diazepam binding activity. Involved in several processes, including postsynapse to nucleus signaling pathway; regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity; and regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; positive regulation of cilium assembly; and transport along microtubule. Located in several cellular components, including centriole; inclusion body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; olfactory epithelium; peripheral nervous system; retina; and testis. Used to study Huntington's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human HTT (huntingtin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
