General annotation (Comments)

Function

Plays a role in the Notch signaling pathway. Activates Notch-1 and Notch-4 By similarity.

Subunit structure

Binds to Notch-1 and Notch-4 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Probable.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in vascular endothelium.

Domain

The Delta-Serrate-Lag2 (DSL) domain is required for binding to the Notch receptor.

Post-translational modification

Ubiquitinated by MIB (MIB1 or MIB2), leading to its endocytosis and subsequent degradation By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 DSL domain.

Contains 8 EGF-like domains.
