This gene encodes a member of the dishevelled (dsh) protein family. The vertebrate dsh proteins have approximately 40% amino acid sequence similarity with Drosophila dsh. This gene encodes a 90-kD protein that undergoes posttranslational phosphorylation to form a 95-kD cytoplasmic protein, which may play a role in the signal transduction pathway mediated by multiple Wnt proteins. The mechanisms of dishevelled function in Wnt signaling are likely to be conserved among metazoans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Cellular Localization:
Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasm, cytosol . Cytoplasmic vesicle . Nucleus . Localizes at the cell membrane upon interaction with frizzled family members and promotes their internalization. Localizes to cytoplasmic puncta (By similarity). Interaction with FOXK1 and FOXK2 induces nuclear translocation (PubMed:25805136). .
