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....

description | <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. We survey these findings and discuss the role of Notch ligands intracellular region in bidirectional signaling and possibly in signal modulation in mammals.</p> <p>Reviewers</p> <p>This article was reviewed by Frank Eisenhaber, L Aravind, and Eugene V.
