The DLG4 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a role in nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. The DLG4 protein is found at synapses, which are the connections between neurons where cell-to-cell communication occurs. Connected nerv READ MORE

The DLL3 gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps control (regulate) the Notch pathway, an important pathway in embryonic development. The Notch pathway plays a critical role in the development of vertebrae. Specifically, the DLL3 p READ MORE

The DLL4 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a signaling pathway known as the Notch pathway, which is important for normal development of many tissues throughout the body. The DLL4 protein attaches to a receptor protein ca READ MORE

DMD , the largest known human gene, provides instructions for making a protein called dystrophin. This protein is located primarily in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and in heart (cardiac) muscle. Small amounts of dystrophin are present READ MORE

The DMPK gene provides instructions for making a protein called myotonic dystrophy protein kinase. This protein appears to play an important role in muscle, heart, and brain cells. The protein may be involved in communication within cells. It also ap READ MORE

The DNAH11 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a larger group (a complex) of proteins called dynein. This complex functions within cell structures called cilia. Cilia are microscopic, finger-like projections that stick out READ MORE

The DNAH5 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a larger group of proteins (a complex) called dynein. This complex functions within cell structures called cilia. Cilia are microscopic, finger-like projections that stick out READ MORE

The DNAI1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a group (complex) of proteins called dynein. This complex functions within cell structures called cilia. Cilia are microscopic, finger-like projections that stick out from the READ MORE

The DNAJC19 gene provides instructions for producing a protein found in structures called mitochondria, which are the energy-producing centers of cells. While the exact function of the DNAJC19 protein is unclear, researchers believe that it helps tra READ MORE

The DNAJC5 gene provides instructions for making a protein called cysteine string protein alpha (CSPα). This protein is found near nerve cells in the brain, where it plays a role in the transmission of nerve impulses. Specifically, CSPα is part of a READ MORE

The DNM2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called dynamin 2. Dynamin 2 is present in cells throughout the body. It is involved in endocytosis, which is a process that brings substances into the cell. During endocytosis, the cell membran READ MORE

The DNMT1 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called DNA methyltransferase 1. This enzyme is involved in DNA methylation, which is the addition of methyl groups, consisting of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms, to DNA molecules. In READ MORE
