The intracellular region of Notch ligands: does the tail make the difference?

<p>Abstract</p> <p/> <p>The cytoplasmic tail of Notch ligands drives endocytosis, mediates association with proteins implicated in the organization of cell-cell junctions and, through regulated intra-membrane proteolysis, is released from the membrane as a signaling fragment....
