Notch signalling between intestinal stem cells and their daughter cells guides cell specification. ISCs with elevated levels of the Notch Delta ligand more primarily activate the Notch signalling pathway in daughter cells and cause them to become ECs. However, ISCs having low levels of Notch Delta ligand direct daughter cells to become enteroendocrine cells. | ||
The NOTCH gene family in humans <ref name=Function>DOI:10.1038/sj.onc.1203276</ref> has a link with the Drosophila Notch gene. Members of the NOTCH gene family encode transmembrane receptor proteins that are useful to determine the cell fate during development. | The NOTCH gene family in humans <ref name=Function>DOI:10.1038/sj.onc.1203276</ref> has a link with the Drosophila Notch gene.
