Notch Family

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Receptor

**Definition:** A family of transmembrane receptors with multiple extracellular EGF repeats and a DSL (notch) domain. These proteins interact with their cell-bound ligands (from the delta and serrate protein families). This interaction stimulates cell-cell signaling pathways that regulate cell fate decisions during embryogenesis.

**Synonyms:** - DSL Protein - Notch Protein - Notch Receptor Family - Notch Receptors
