Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1 or DISC1 is a protein with a wide array of functions. It participates in cell growth, movement, axonal growth and transport, neural positioning. Disruptions in DISC1 structure may play an important role at least in some cases of schizophrenia, however the evidence from genetic linkage and association studies suggests that variants of DISC1 do not play a significant role in most cases of schizophrenia, although DISC1 may be more important in bipolar disorder. In humans, this protein is encoded by the DISC1 gene.
This gene encodes a protein with multiple coiled coil motifs which is located in the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The protein is involved in neurite outgrowth and cortical development through its interaction with other proteins.
