Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables Notch binding activity and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; nervous system development; and regionalization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear development; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and regionalization. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; apical plasma membrane; and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; limb; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DLL1 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 1).
