Dishevelled (Dsh) is a family of proteins involved in non-canonical Wnt signalling pathways. Dsh is a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that acts directly downstream of frizzled receptors.

Dishevelled plays important roles in both the embryo and the adult, ranging from cellular differentiation and cell polarity to social behavior.

Members

There are three human genes that encode dishevelled proteins:

• DVL1
• DVL2
• DVL3
