Background InformationDelta-like 1 homolog (DLK1), also known as fetal antigen 1 (FA1) and preadipocyte factor 1 (pref-1), is a transmembrane protein containing 6 epidermal growth factor repeats whose expression is known to modulate differentiation signals. Studies have shown DLK1 is involved in differentiation of several cell types, including adipocytes. Studies have shown deficiencies in DLK1 displaying growth retardation, obesity, skeletal malformation, and increased serum lipid. DLK1 is a paternally expressed imprinted gene that plays a role in normal development and in the maintence of homeostatsis of adipose tissue mass.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a transmembrane protein containing six epidermal growth factor repeats. The protein is involved in the differentiation of several cell types, including adipocytes; it is also thought to be a tumor suppressor. It is one of several imprinted genes located in a region of on chr 14q32. Certain mutations in this imprinted region can cause phenotypes similar to maternal and paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14 (UPD14). This gene is expressed from the paternal allele. A polymorphism within this gene has been associated with child and adolescent obesity. The mode of inheritance for this polymorphism is polar overdominance; this non-Mendelian inheritance pattern was first described in sheep with the callipyge phenotype, which is characterized by muscle hypertrophy and decreased fat mass.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummarySUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Monomer.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found within the stromal cells in close contact to the vascular structure of placental villi, yolk sac, fetal liver, adrenal cortex and pancreas and in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the adult pancreas. Found also in some forms of neuroendocrine lung tumor tissue.

PTM: N- and O-glycosylated.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 6 EGF-like domains.

SEQUENCE CAUTION: The sequence CAA35582.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 22, 108 and 199.
Molecular Weight~47 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 41 kDa, but can be observed at ~41-55 kDa due to high glycosylation.
