NotchDeltaSerrate
NotchDeltaSerrate, often abbreviated as NDS, is a gene found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. It encodes a protein that plays a role in the development of the fly's wing. Specifically, the NotchDeltaSerrate pathway is a critical signaling mechanism involved in cell-to-cell communication during embryonic development. This pathway is fundamental for many developmental processes, including neurogenesis, myogenesis, and imaginal disc development, which forms adult structures like wings and legs.
The NotchDeltaSerrate protein is a transmembrane receptor that interacts with ligands, such as Delta and Serrate,
