Shisa-8 is a protein that is humans is encoded by C22orf17 (Chromosome 22 Open Reading Frame 17) gene. The longest isoform of the Shisa-8 mRNA is Isoform 1 spanning 5,532 nucleotides (nt). The Shisa-8 protein has been associated with alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isooxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors and is part of the AMPA receptor complex.{{cite web | title = SHISA8 shisa family member 8 [ Homo sapiens (human) ] | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/440829 | website = NCBI | publisher = NIH | access-date = 3 December 2024 }} AMPA receptors are predicted to have effects on learning, memory, and gating properties in neurons.{{cite journal | vauthors = Liu S, Wang J, Tian X, Zhang Z, Wang L, Xiong Y, Liu X, Xie Y, Wu X, Xu C | title = An integrated multi-omics analysis identifies novel regulators of circadian rhythm and sleep disruptions induced by changed photoperiod in Antarctica | journal = Molecular Psychiatry | date = 2024 | pmid = 39587296 | doi = 10.1038/s41380-024-02844-7 | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39587296/ | publisher = NIH | access-date = 3 December 2024 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Nejat M, Klaassen RV, Spijker S, Smit AB | title = Auxiliary subunits of the AMPA receptor: The Shisa family of proteins | journal = Current Opinion in Pharmacology | volume = 58 | pages = 52–61 | date = 2021 | pmid = 33892364 | doi = 10.1016/j.coph.2021.03.001 | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33892364/ | publisher = NIH | hdl = 1871.1/e9e9a0c2-d7ca-4ebf-a2af-4d09624c4d4f | access-date = 3 December 2024 | hdl-access = free }}

Shisa-8 is a part of the Shisa family of proteins with Shisa-6 and Shisa-7 being found to be the most similar paralogs. Shisa 9, 7, and 6 were also shown to have a role in allosteric modulation of AMPA receptors.{{cite journal | vauthors = Nejat M, Klaassen RV, Spijker S, Smit AB | title = Auxiliary subunits of the AMPA receptor: The Shisa family of proteins | journal = Current Opinion in Pharmacology | volume = 58 | pages = 52–61 | date = 2021 | pmid = 33892364 | doi = 10.1016/j.coph.2021.03.001 | url = https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1471489221000217 | publisher = Elseveir | hdl = 1871.1/e9e9a0c2-d7ca-4ebf-a2af-4d09624c4d4f | access-date = 13 December 2024 | hdl-access = free }}
