DLL3 (Delta-like protein 3), also known as Delta-like protein 3, is a transmembrane protein that plays a role in cell signaling and is a member of the Notch signaling pathway, which is critical for cell differentiation and development. LL3 is involved in intercellular communication and is one of the ligands of the Notch receptor. It interacts with Notch receptors on adjacent cells to trigger a signaling cascade that can influence cell fate decisions, including cell differentiation and proliferation.
THBD, an intron-free gene encoding a protein that is an endothel-specific type I membrane receptor, binds thromboxase. This binding results in the activation of protein C, which degrades the clotting factors Va and VIIIa, and reduces the amount of thromboxase produced.
