Disks large-associated protein 1 (DAP-1), also known as guanylate kinase-associated protein (GKAP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLGAP1 gene. DAP-1 is known to be highly enriched in synaptosomal preparations of the brain, and present in the post synaptic density[1] This gene encodes the protein called guanylate kinase-associated protein (GKAP). GKAP binds to the SHANK and PSD-95 proteins fascilitating the assembly of the post synaptic density of neurons.[2] Dlgap1 has five 14-amino acid repeats and three Pro-rich portions.

Interactions

DLGAP1 has been shown to interact with DLG4,[3][4][5][6][7][8] DLG1,[4][5][7][8] DYNLL2,[3] SHANK2[3][6] and DYNLL1.[3].

The interaction with PSD95 and S-SCAM is mediated by the GUK domain[9] and it has been hypothesized that this might mean it can also interact with other GUK containing proteins.
