dishevelled associated activator of morphogenesis 1

Cell motility, adhesion, cytokinesis, and other functions of the cell cortex are mediated by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and several formin homology (FH) proteins have been associated with these processes. The protein encoded by this gene contains two FH domains and belongs to a novel FH protein subfamily implicated in cell polarity. A key regulator of cytoskeletal architecture, the small GTPase Rho, is activated during development by Wnt/Fz signaling to control cell polarity and movement. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to function as a scaffolding protein for the Wnt-induced assembly of a disheveled (Dvl)-Rho complex. This protein also promotes the nucleation and elongation of new actin filaments and regulates cell growth through the stabilization of microtubules. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

dishevelled segment polarity protein 1 pseudogene 1

Predicted to enable frizzled binding activity. Predicted to be involved in canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Implicated in DiGeorge syndrome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

dishevelled segment polarity protein 2

This gene encodes a member of the dishevelled (dsh) protein family. The vertebrate dsh proteins have approximately 40% amino acid sequence similarity with Drosophila dsh. This gene encodes a 90-kD protein that undergoes posttranslational phosphorylation to form a 95-kD cytoplasmic protein, which may play a role in the signal transduction pathway mediated by multiple Wnt proteins. The mechanisms of dishevelled function in Wnt signaling are likely to be conserved among metazoans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

dishevelled segment polarity protein 3

This gene is a member of a multi-gene family which shares strong similarity with the Drosophila dishevelled gene, dsh. The Drosophila dishevelled gene encodes a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that regulates cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 1

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dapper family, characterized by the presence of PDZ-binding motif at the C-terminus. It interacts with, and positively regulates dishevelled-mediated signaling pathways during development. Depletion of this mRNA from xenopus embryos resulted in loss of notochord and head structures, and mice lacking this gene died shortly after birth from severe posterior malformations. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 3

Predicted to enable delta-catenin binding activity; protein kinase A binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and negative regulation of cell growth. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

dishevelled-binding antagonist of beta-catenin 2

Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell morphogenesis; inner medullary collecting duct development; and negative regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

dishevelled associated activator of morphogenesis 2

Predicted to enable actin binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including podocyte cell migration; regulation of actin filament polymerization; and regulation of filopodium assembly. Located in extracellular exosome. Implicated in familial nephrotic syndrome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

dishevelled segment polarity protein 1

DVL1, the human homolog of the Drosophila dishevelled gene (dsh) encodes a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that regulates cell proliferation, acting as a transducer molecule for developmental processes, including segmentation and neuroblast specification. DVL1 is a candidate gene for neuroblastomatous transformation. The Schwartz-Jampel syndrome and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A have been mapped to the same region as DVL1. The phenotypes of these diseases may be consistent with defects which might be expected from aberrant expression of a DVL gene during development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
