FUNCTION

The LIN-12/Notch family of transmembrane receptors is believed to play a central role in development by regulating cell fate decisions. Notch proteins have been found to be overexpressed or rearranged in human tumors. Ligands for Notch include Jagged, Jagged-2 and Delta. While blocking the differentiation of progenitor cells into the B-cell lineage, Delta promotes the emergence of a population of cells with T cell/NK-cell characteristics. The protein is a membrane protein expressed in heart, pancreas, brain and muscle during gastrulation and early organogenesis and in adult heart and lung. Delta-4 is a membrane protein that activates Notch-1 and Notch-4. It is expressed in a wide range of adult and fetal tissues, especially in vascular endothelium.
