Abstract

Dishevelled (Dvl) is a kind of protein widely existing in human tissue, containing three structural domains:Dishevelled and Axin (DIX);postsynaptic density protein-95, disc large tumour suppressor, zonula occludens-1 (PDZ);and Dishevelled, Egl-10 and pleck-strin (DEP). Dvl participates in the Wnt signaling through different structure domains to play a role in nervous system development and neu-rogenesis after nerve injury.
