Background:  A guanylate kinase is a phosphotransferase that produces ADP and GDP from the substrates ATP and GMP. SAPAP4 is a 992 amino acid protein that likely localizes to the postsynaptic membrane of neurons to enhance neuronal signaling. SAPAP4 could act as a signaling molecule which interacts with the human genes DLG1 and DLG4/PSD-95. The gene encoding SAPAP4, DLGAP4, maps to human chromosome 20. Comprising approximately 2% of the human genome, chromosome 20 contains nearly 63 million bases that encode over 600 genes, some of which are associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, ring chromosome 20 epilepsy syndrome and Alagille syndrome. Additionally, chromosome 20 contains a region with numerous genes which are thought important for seminal production and may be potential targets for male contraception.
