DLL3

这个基因编码一个δ蛋白配体家族的成员。该家族作为具有DSL结构域、EGF重复序列和跨膜结构域特征的Notch配体发挥作用。该基因突变可导致常染色体隐性脊柱发育不全1。两个编码不同亚型的转录变体已被鉴定为该基因。
This gene encodes a member of the delta protein ligand family. This family functions as Notch ligands that are characterized by a DSL domain, EGF repeats, and a transmembrane domain. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis 1. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
