DESCRIPTION

Also known as CSKP_HUMAN, CASK, LIN2. Multidomain scaffolding protein with a role in synaptic transmembrane protein anchoring and ion channel trafficking. Contributes to neural development and regulation of gene expression via interaction with the transcription factor TBR1. Binds to cell-surface proteins, including amyloid precursor protein, neurexins and syndecans. May mediate a link between the extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton via its interaction with syndecan and with the actin/spectrin-binding protein 4.1. Component of the LIN-10-LIN-2-LIN-7 complex, which associates with the motor protein KIF17 to transport vesicles containing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR2B along microtubules (By similarity). CASK and LIN7 form two mutually exclusive tripartite complexes with APBA1 or CASKIN1 (By similarity). Component of the brain-specific heterotrimeric complex (LIN-10-LIN-2-LIN-7 complex) composed of at least APBA1, CASK, and LIN7, which associates with the motor protein KIF17 to transport vesicles along microtubules (By similarity). Forms a heterotrimeric complex with DLG1 and LIN7B via their L27 domains (By similarity). Identified in a complex with ACTN4, IQGAP1, MAGI2, NPHS1, SPTAN1 and SPTBN1 (By similarity). Part of a complex containing CASK, TBR1 and TSPYL2 (By similarity). Interacts with WHRN (By similarity). Interacts (via the PDZ, SH3 and guanylate kinase-like domains) with NRXN1 (via C-terminus) (By similarity). Interacts with CASKIN1, APBA1, LIN7(A/B/C) and L27 domain of DLG1 and isoform 2 of DLG4 (By similarity). Interacts with FCHSD2 (By similarity). Interacts with KIRREL3 (PubMed:19012874). Interacts with TBR1 (By similarity). Interacts with TSPYL2 (By similarity).
