DLL4 Antibody / Delta-like protein 4

Delta-like 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLL4 gene. It is mapped to 15q15.1. This gene is a homolog of the Drosophila delta gene. The delta gene family encodes Notch ligands that are characterized by a DSL domain, EGF repeats, and a transmembrane domain. And this gene plays an important role in promoting Th17 effector activity during mycobacterial challenge.
