General description
The three DVL isoforms display high sequence homology and have conserved DIX, PDZ and DEP domains required for GSK3β inactivation. DVL1 is highly expressed in adult and fetal tissues such as skeletal muscle and pancreas but is also found in the brain and neural tube.
Application
Anti-DVL1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dishevelled (Dsh, DVL) operates by up-regulating β-catenin levels and stimulating T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF-1)-dependent transcription. In mammals, three genes encoding isoforms of dishevelled are present, DVL1, DVL2, and DVL3, that differentially mediate the wingless (wnt) canonical signaling pathway.
Dishevelled (Dsh, DVL) proteins are part of a multigene family that mediate wnt signaling pathways that are essential for the regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, motility, and morphogenesis. DVL1 regulates the activity of JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) and GSK3β in the wnt signaling pathway. Upon activation of the wnt signaling pathway, DVL1 inactivates GSK3β through complex formation with APC (Antigen-presenting cell), β-catenin and axin proteins, releasing β-catenin from degradation. In neurons, DVL1 is localized to axonal microtubules and stabilizes microtubules by inhibiting the GSK3β mediated phosphorylation of MAP-1B.
