Gene ID: 3996, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DLG4; HUGL; LLGL; Lgl1; Mgl1; HUGL1; HUGL-1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a tumor suppressor in Drosophila. The protein is part of a cytoskeletal network and is associated with nonmuscle myosin II heavy chain and a kinase that specifically phosphorylates this protein at serine residues. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
