DLAT (HGNC:2896, PDC-E2) is the human gene for dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase, the E2 core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex on 11q23.1; its protein is the antimitochondrial autoantigen in primary biliary cholangitis and the cuproptosis target.

DLC1

DLC1 (Deleted in Liver Cancer 1, ARHGAP7, STARD12) is a tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 8p21.3-22 encoding a RhoGAP for RhoA-C and Cdc42, frequently deleted or methylated in liver, breast, and lung cancers.

DLD-1

DLD-1 (DLD1, CoCL3, ATCC CCL-221) is a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line isolated 1977-1979 from a male patient; known for clonal heterogeneity (clones A and D) and shared origin with HCT-15, HCT-8, and HRT-18.

DLG1

DLG1 (SAP97, hDlg) is a MAGUK-family scaffolding gene at human 3q29, homolog of the Drosophila discs large tumor suppressor; it organizes epithelial junctions, synapses, and glutamate receptor trafficking.

DLG4

DLG4 (PSD-95, SAP90) is a human chromosome 17 gene encoding the most abundant MAGUK scaffolding protein of excitatory synapses; pathogenic variants cause DLG4-related synaptopathy, a rare autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder.

dlib

dlib is a portable C++ toolkit of machine learning algorithms with Python bindings, created by Davis King and best known for face detection and face recognition components.

DLin-KC2-DMA

DLin-KC2-DMA, known as KC2, is a synthetic ionizable cationic lipid used in lipid nanoparticles to deliver siRNA, and the ancestor of the clinically approved lipid MC3.

DLin-MC3-DMA

DLin-MC3-DMA, also known as MC3, is a synthetic ionizable cationic lipid used in lipid nanoparticles to deliver RNA, most notably in Onpattro (patisiran), the first FDA-approved siRNA drug in 2018.

DLK1

DLK1 (Pref-1, FA-1), Delta Like Non-Canonical Notch Ligand 1: paternally expressed imprinted gene at human 14q32 in the DLK1-DIO3 cluster; encodes a six-EGF-repeat transmembrane protein that blocks adipocyte differentiation; mutations cause central precocious puberty and Temple syndrome.

DLL4

DLL4 (delta-like canonical Notch ligand 4, Dll4) is a transmembrane Notch1/Notch4 ligand, VEGF-induced brake on angiogenic sprouting, haploinsufficient-lethal in mice, linked to Adams-Oliver syndrome and targeted by the tovecimig DLL4-VEGF bispecific antibody.

DLMS/COSEM

DLMS/COSEM (IEC 62056) is an international standard suite for smart energy metering, combining the DLMS application layer and the COSEM object model, standardized since 2002.

DLPNO-CCSD(T)

DLPNO-CCSD(T) is a reduced-scaling quantum chemical method developed by Frank Neese and coworkers in 2013 that approximates the canonical CCSD(T) "gold standard", achieving near-linear scaling while recovering about 99.9% of its correlation energy.

DLR Hand II

The DLR Hand II is a multisensory anthropomorphic robotic hand developed by the German Aerospace Center, introduced in 2001 with four identical fingers and 13 degrees of freedom.
