Generic protein structure example

Delta-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLL1 gene.[1]

Function

DLL1 is a human homolog of the Notch Delta ligand and is a member of the delta/serrate/jagged family. It plays a role in mediating cell fate decisions during hematopoiesis. It may play a role in cell-to-cell communication.[1]

Interactions

Delta-like 1 has been shown to interact with NOTCH2[2][3][4]
