Uniprot Id

Q15700

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DLG2

Target Full Name

Disks large homolog 2

Target Function

Required for perception of chronic pain through NMDA receptor signaling. Regulates surface expression of NMDA receptors in dorsal horn neurons of the spinal cord. Interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunits as well as inward rectifying potassium channels. Involved in regulation of synaptic stability at cholinergic synapses. Part of the postsynaptic protein scaffold of excitatory synapses.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Cell junction, synapse. Membrane. Cell projection, axon. Perikaryon.

Target Protein Families

MAGUK family

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. The encoded 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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.
