Dll1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables Notch binding activity and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; nervous system development; and regionalization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear development; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and regionalization. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; apical plasma membrane; and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DLL1 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 1).

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 Dll1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
