DLG2

Introduction

Disks large homolog 2 (DLG2) also known as channel-associated protein of synapse-110 (chapsyn-110) or postsynaptic density protein 93 (PSD-93) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLG2 gene.[1][2]

Function

Function

Chapsyn-110/PSD-93 a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. The protein forms a heterodimer with a related family member that may interact at postsynaptic sites to form a multimeric scaffold for the clustering of receptors, ion channels, and associated signaling proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described but their full-length nature has yet to be completely determined.[3]

Model organisms

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of DLG2 function. A knockout mouse line, called Dlg2tm1Dsb was generated.[11][12] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[9][13] Twenty four tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and five significant abnormalities were observed.[9] Both sexes had atypical indirect calorimetry and DEXA parameters. Females also had decreased body weight, decreased circulating HDL cholesterol levels, and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.[9]

Interactions

Interactions

DLG2 has been shown to interact with GRIN2B,[14][15] KCNJ12.[16]
