| PDZ domains (1-3) | Bind C-terminal motifs of transmembrane proteins including glutamate receptors, ion channels, and cell adhesion molecules. PDZ1 and PDZ2 are canonical; PDZ3 has distinctive binding preferences |
| SH3 domain | Proline-rich region involved in protein-protein interactions, recruits signaling molecules |
| Guanylate Kinase (GK) domain | Homologous to metabolic guanylate kinases but has lost catalytic activity; serves as a protein interaction module instead |
| AKAP79/150 complex | SAP97 recruits the A-kinase anchoring protein AKAP79/150, which brings PKA, calcineurin, and AC9 to the PSD |
| G-protein signaling | SAP97 interacts with G-protein subunits, modulating second messenger pathways |
| Cytoskeletal regulation | Through various interactors, SAP97 links synaptic receptors to the actin cytoskeleton |
