MPP2 Proteins

Protein Information

The MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologs) family of proteins contain multiple protein-binding domains and are involved in cell junction organization, tumor suppression and signaling. The MAGUK family is divided into four subfamilies: DLG-like, ZO1-like, p55-like and LIN2-like. MPP2 (membrane protein, palmitoylated 2), also known as MAGUK p55 subfamily member 2, discs large homolog 2 or DLG2, is a 576 amino acid protein belonging to the MAGUK family that exists as three alternatively spliced isoforms. MPP2 contains one guanylate kinase-like domain, a PDZ (DHR) domain, two L27 domains and a single SH3 domain. The gene encoding MPP2 maps to the same segment of human chromosome 17 as MPP3, with whom MMP2 likely shares similar function and common structural organization.
