Preparation and Storage

Background: DISP2

DISP2 (Dispatched Homolog 2), also known as DISPB, belongs to the dispatched family of sterol-sensing proteins.  DISP2 and the closely related DISP1 were initially identified in mice by their high homology with Dispatched, a protein required for long-range Hedgehog (Hh) signaling in Drosophila.  Like DISP1, DISP2 is a multispan (12) transmembrane protein with both cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal tails.  DISP2 contains a sterol-sensing domain (SSD) of 173 amino acids (aa), and may be involved in regulating the release of cholesterol-modified Sonic Hedgehog (Shh).  Human DISP2 is 1401 aa in length, with three predicted N-linked glycosylation sites.  Over aa 192-477, human DISP2 shares 72% and 73% aa identity with mouse and rat DISP2, respectively.
