| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables Notch binding activity. Involved in several processes, including blood vessel remodeling; circulatory system development; and regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; angiogenesis; and negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; early conceptus; intestine; and retina. Used to study Adams-Oliver syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Adams-Oliver syndrome and limb ischemia. Orthologous to human DLL4 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality, absent vascular remodeling, small hearts, and embryonic growth retardation. Heterozygous null mice display background dependent partial or complete embryonic lethality, impaired vascular remodeling, and embryonic growth retardation. [provided by MGI curators] |
