SMART accession number:SM00051
Description: -
Interpro abstract (IPR001774):

Ligands of the Delta/Serrate/lag-2 (DSL) family and their receptors, members of the lin-12/Notch family, mediate cell-cell interactions that specify cell fate in invertebrates and vertebrates. In Caenorhabditis elegans, two DSL genes, lag-2 and apx-1, influence different cell fate decisions during development [ (PUBMED:8575327) ]. Molecular interaction between Notch and Serrate, another EGF-homologous transmembrane protein containing a region of striking similarity to Delta, has been shown and the same two EGF repeats of Notch may also constitute a Serrate binding domain [ (PUBMED:1657403) (PUBMED:7716513) ].
