Gene Summary

Enables Notch binding activity. Involved in auditory receptor cell fate commitment; gamma-delta T cell differentiation; and positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell apoptotic process involved in palatal shelf morphogenesis; odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and respiratory system process. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and surface ectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human JAG2 (jagged canonical Notch ligand 2).
