Delta-like 3 (Drosophila), also known as DLL3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DLL3 gene.^[1] Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the delta protein ligand family. This family functions as Notch ligands that are characterized by a DSL domain, EGF repeats, and a transmembrane domain.^[2]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis 1.^[3]
