DISC1 and schizophrenia: A special attention has been paid to the oligopeptidase known as nuclear distribution element-like 1 (Ndel1) because of its dual role and distinctive functions, such as its ability to form a complex with the schizophrenia (SCZ) susceptible gene product, DISC1 (Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1) and to cleave neuropeptides such as neurotensin (NT) and bradykinin (BK), which are important for the response to antipsychotics and for the neuron-generating division of neural progenitor cells, respectively.
