NCIt synonyms : SAP-97; hDlg; Synapse-Associated Protein 97; SAP97; Presynaptic Protein SAP97; Presynaptic Protein-SAP97;
NCIt definition : Disks large homolog 1 (904 aa, 100 kDa) is encoded by the human DLG1 gene. This protein
plays a role in protein localization.;
NCIt note : Disks large homolog 1 has several isoforms. This protein is a putative kinase that
appears to regulate protein targeting and contains one SH3, one Guanylate Kinase-like,
and three PDZ/DHR domains. DLG1 binds to membrane cytoskeletal protein 4.1 (EPB41)
and to KIF13B, and interacts with the KCNAB1 channel as well as the cytoplasmic tail
of NMDA receptor subunits. LCK interacts with the proline-rich N-terminal domain of
DLG1. Interacting with actin-binding ezrin, SAP97 is also involved in cell shape morphogenesis.;
