malfunction | Lfng depletion does not affect the balance between neuronally committed cells and selfrenewing progenitors, irrespective of the cell density of Lfng-depleted cells, and causes no obvious defects in brain development, but in vivo overexpression of Lfng shows that it strongly augments Notch signaling mediated by Delta-like 1 but not Jagged 1, phenotypes, overview | Mus musculus |
physiological function | Notch signaling is essential for the self-renewal of mammalian neural progenitor cells. A variety of mechanisms modulate Notch signaling to balance the self-renewal and differentiation of progenitor cells. Fringe is a major Notch regulator and promotes or suppresses Notch signaling, depending on the Notch ligands. Lfng potentiates Notch signaling cell autonomously in neural progenitor cells of developinmg brain. Lfng and Notch intracellular domain affect embryonic self-renewing progenitor cell identity and cell proliferation in a similar way | Mus musculus |
