DISC1 is an intracellular hub for protein/RNA networks that regulates progenitor proliferation, neuronal migration, dendritic spine formation, synaptic regulation, and neuronal signaling. Many lines of evidence have indicated that deficits of these neuronal processes, in particular those in early development, underlie circuitry and behavioral (endo)phenotypes relevant to a wide range of mental illness.
