Disease relevance of MPP2

  • No evidence for mutation was found, making it unlikely that DLG2 is involved in sporadic breast cancer [1].
  • Since allelic loss has been reported in the 17q12-q21 region in breast and ovarian cancer and it appears that BRCA1 is not the target of the losses, we looked for somatic alterations in DLG2 in sporadic breast tumors [1].
 

High impact information on MPP2

  • Sequence analysis indicates that the carboxyl terminus of human WIN has been previously isolated as a putative phosphorylation substrate, MPM2-reactive phosphoprotein 2 (MPP2); WIN may be regulated by phosphorylation [2].
  • These results suggest that PSZA11q14 may be considered a candidate gene for schizophrenia acting as an antisense regulator of DLG-2, which controls assembling functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors [3].
  • The DLG3 gene is located on chromosome 17, in the same segment, 17q12-q21, as the related gene, DLG2 [4].
  • The products of the DLG2 and DLG3 genes show 36% identity and 58% similarity to each other, and both show nearly 60% sequence similarity to p55, an erythroid phosphoprotein that is a component of the red cell membrane [4].
