Interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunits and shaker-type potassium channels. Required for synaptic plasticity associated with NMDA receptor signaling. Overexpression or depletion of DLG4 changes the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses in hippocampal neurons. May reduce the amplitude of ASIC3 acid-evoked currents by retaining the channel intracellularly. May regulate the intracellular trafficking of ADR1B. Also regulates AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR) immobilization at postsynaptic density keeping the channels in an activated state in the presence of glutamate and preventing synaptic depression. Under basal conditions, cooperates with FYN to stabilize palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC5 at the synaptic membrane through FYN-mediated phosphorylation of ZDHHC5 and its subsequent inhibition of association with endocytic proteins.. When interpreting results, consider species context, domain architecture, and whether the recombinant format represents full-length or a defined region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMapping synaptic or sensory protein interactions using recombinant domains and binding assays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrating protein-level readouts with transcriptomics for multi-omic interpretation in neural models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding and interaction assays:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify partner binding and rank conditions using plate-based formats or biophysical methods (SPR\/BLI).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnzymology:\u003c\/strong\u003e assess catalytic activity and compare substrate preferences or inhibitor effects using appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssay development:\u003c\/strong\u003e use as a standard, spike-in control, or positive control where consistent specifications are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically relies on relative comparisons (treated vs control, mutant vs wild-type, or dose\/time series) using consistent sample handling and appropriate normalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-translational modifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e expression system can affect glycosylation and processing; interpret differences cautiously when comparing to native protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and domains:\u003c\/strong\u003e expressed regions may not capture all isoform-specific features; match fragment boundaries to your assay’s binding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e include blank matrix controls, tag-only controls (where relevant), and orthogonal readouts (e.g., WB\/qPCR\/ELISA) to support interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt Knowledgebase entry for DLG4 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/ - NCBI Gene for DLG4 — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/ - RCSB Protein Data Bank — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/ - PubMed (reviews and primary literature) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/ - Ensembl gene summary — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53059049357677,"sku":"CSB-MP006938HU-1MG","price":3520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53059197206893,"sku":"CSB-MP006938HU-100UG","price":470.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53059197239661,"sku":"CSB-MP006938HU-20UG","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-MP006938HU-SDS.jpg?v=1772271437","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-disks-large-homolog-4-dlg4-bhp10513382","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
