Numb Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a conserved protein that is distributed asymmetrically during cell division in the developing embryo. The encoded protein participates in cell fate decisions by interacting with the Notch receptor. Loss of function of this gene results in severe defects in neural development and loss of viability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Numb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
