About Crbn

Summary

This gene encodes a protein with a Lon protease domain, a "regulators of G protein-signaling" (RGS)-like domain and a leucine zipper. It has been proposed to regulate the assembly and surface expression of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in brain and to bind thalidomide. In humans mutation in this gene causes autosomal recessive nonsyndromic cognitive disability. In mouse deficiency of this gene serves as a model to study the molecular mechanisms governing learning and memory as they relate to intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
