NCIt definition : Human DLG1 wild-type allele is located within 3q29 and is approximately 254 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes disks large homolog 1 protein, is involved in both
organization of the actin cytoskeleton and coupling of this structure to the cell
membrane.;
NCIt note : In polarized cells, the DLG1 gene product plays a role in the recruitment of channels,
receptors and signaling molecules to discrete plasma membrane domains. Although Dlg1
is a putative tumor suppressor protein, it has been shown to be involved in virus-mediated
cellular transformation.;
