| Synapse Formation | DVL2 regulates the formation of excitatory synapses by promoting postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) clustering and recruiting AMPA-type glutamate receptors to synaptic sites [11]. |
| Synaptic Plasticity | Through its interactions with CaMKII and other synaptic proteins, DVL2 contributes to long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), cellular correlates of learning and memory [1]. |
| Axon Guidance | DVL2 mediates guidance cue responses that direct neuronal axons to their correct targets during development and regeneration [4]. |
| Highest Expression | Cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum show the highest DVL2 expression levels throughout life [1]. |
