NCIt definition : Human DLG4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.1 and is approximately
30 kb in length. This allele, which encodes discs large homolog 4 protein, plays a
role in NMDA receptor signaling. Decreased DLG4 gene expression is associated with
bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.;
NCIt note : The Dlg4 protein may interact with the Dlg2 protein to form a multimeric scaffold
at postsynaptic sites to facilitate the convergence of ion channels, receptors and
signaling proteins.;
