General description

Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 protein (DISC1) is involved in the regulation of multiple aspects of embryonic and adult neurogenesis. DISC1 may play a role as a modulator of the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway controlling the tempo of the process of newborn neurons integration during adult neurogenesis, including neuron positioning, dendritic development and synapse formation. DISC1 is shown to inhibit the activation of AKT-mTOR signaling upon interaction with CCDC88A. DISC1 is required for neural progenitor proliferation in the ventrical/subventrical zone during embryonic brain development and in the adult dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Additionally, DISC1 is suggested to regulate the migration of early-born granule cell precursors toward the dentate gyrus during the hippocampal development. DISC1 has been shown to participates in the Wnt-mediated neural progenitor proliferation as a positive regulator and may have a role, together with PCNT, in the microtubule network formation.
DICS1 is highly expressed in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. It is also expressed in the temporal and parahippocampal cortices and cells of the white matter. Expression rises within the dentate gyrus and temporal cortex from the neonatal period to infancy, declines markedly in adolescence, and declines further with aging. Uniprot describes 8 isoforms ranging between ~37 kDa and ~94 kDa.

Mutations in the gene DISC1 are associated with increased risk for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression. The study of mutated DISC1 represents a well-known and comprehensively characterized approach to understand neuropsychiatric disease mechanisms. However, previous studies have mainly used
