DISC1 Proteins and Enzymes

Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a 100 kDa cytoplasmic scaffold protein that is associated with the development of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and recurrent major depression. It plays a role in post-synaptic density development and neurogenesis as well as centrosome and microtubule dynamics. DISC1 interacts with a range of intracellular proteins including Kinesin 1, NDE1, PDE4, GSK-3 beta, GRB2, PACAP, RAC1, TNIK, and FEZ1. It contains four coiled-coil domains (aa 366 - 394, aa 452 ...
