    basic FUNCTION
  • involved the subcellular targeting of ion channels and glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses
  • appears to mediate tyrosine-phosphorylation of the NMDA receptors and synaptic localization of FYN
  • DLG4, DLG2 and DLG3 are thought to have crucial roles in both AMPA receptor trafficking and formation of NMDA receptor-associated signalling complexes involved in synaptic plasticity
  • might contribute potentially to molecular mechanisms of neuronal damage in brain disorders (brain trauma, seizures, and ischemia)
  • DLG4, DLG3, DLG1, and DLG3 are central organizers of the postsynaptic density at excitatory synapses on pyramidal neurons
  • DLG4 and DLG2 play critical but distinct roles in synaptic scaling up and down
  • scaffolding protein for ionotropic glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses
  • E2F8 and DLG2 regulate insulin secretion
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text small molecule transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling neurotransmission , signal transduction
    a component heterodimerizing with DLG4 and recruited into the same NMDA receptor and Shaker-type potassium channel clusters
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunit
  • potassium channel
  • interactions between GLUD2 and DLG2 involve more than the extreme terminus of the receptor
  • DLG2 interacted with SSTR4 and affected the level of SSTR4 on cell membrane, which was associated with the ubiquitination
  • is an anchoring protein of NMDA receptors
  • DLG2 is a direct ZDHHC14 interactor and substrate
  • cell & other
