Delta-Like Protein 3 (DLL3)

Background

Delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) is a transmembrane protein that belongs to the Delta/Serrate/Lag-2 (DSL) family of Notch ligands. DLL3 inhibits primary neurogenesis. It may be required to divert neurons along a specific differentiation pathway. It plays a role in the formation of somite boundaries during segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm (by similarity).
