Summary of NOTCH4
NOTCH4 encodes a NOTCH protein, which is involved in intercellular signaling pathways that regulate interactions between physically adjacent cells. Mutations of this gene are associated with higher risk for schizophrenia (R).
The Function of NOTCH4
Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBPJ/RBPSUH and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. May regulate branching morphogenesis in the developing vascular system.
