DLGAP5 and cancer: DLGAP5 (Discs Large Homolog Associated Protein 5), also known as HURP or DLG7, is a mitotic spindle protein that promotes the formation of tubulin polymers [40]; it has been documented that DLGAP5 may lead to cancer by allowing cells to progress through the regulation of M phase progression by modulating the function of the spindle apparatus and its organization [41].
