Gene: DLG4
Alternate names for this Gene: MRD62|PSD95|SAP-90|SAP90
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. It heteromultimerizes with another MAGUK protein, DLG2, and is recruited into NMDA receptor and potassium channel clusters. These two MAGUK proteins 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17p13.1
Description of this Gene: discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 4
Type of Gene: protein-coding
