Dvl1 - dishevelled segment polarity protein 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Dishevelled family of proteins. These proteins have an N-terminal Dishevelled/Axin domain, a Dishevelled, EGL-10, Plextrin domain, a central PDZ domain, and a C-terminal domain of approximately 200 amino acids. They regulate both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling as well as planar cell polarity pathways. Mice deficient for this gene are viable and fertile but display reduced social interaction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
