Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

DLL3 is a member of the Notch pathway involved in development. In mice, Notch signalling, including DLL3, has been linked to regeneration in the liver [1385]. DLL3 has also been linked to development and neurogenesis. Mutations in DLL3 have been associated with developmental defects, but not ageing. The Pudgy (pu) mice phenotype of severe vertebral and rib deformities is caused by a mutation in DLL3 [1388]. Mutations in the human DDL3 gene cause axial skeletal defects [1390]. It is unclear whether DLL3 plays a role in human ageing but it could be part of age-related changes in regenerative ability [1386].
