function:Acts as a "third messenger" substrate of protein kinase C-mediated molecular cascades during synaptic development and remodeling. Binds to calmodulin in the absence of calcium.,similarity:Belongs to the neurogranin family.,similarity:Contains 1 collagen-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 IQ domain.,tissue specificity:In the cerebral cortex, found in the cell bodies of neurons in layers II-VI, and in apical and basal dendrites of pyramidal neurons. Is not found in the dendrites in patients with Alzheimer disease.,
