Dlg5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of dendritic spine development; positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway; and regulation of hippo signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including apical protein localization; epithelial cell differentiation; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in adherens junction and ciliary basal body. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human DLG5 (discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Dlg5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
