DLL3 (DELTA-LIKE Protein 3) is encoded by the human gene and belongs to the Delta-Like protein family. It is a transmembrane protein involved in cell signaling, cell fate determination, and cell differentiation. The Delta-Like protein family comprises ligands that interact with NOTCH receptors, crucial for cell development and differentiation. DLL3 plays a pivotal role in neurogenesis, contributing to the generation of neurons during embryonic development. DLL3 has garnered significant interest in cancer research, particularly in certain types of cancer. Elevated DLL3 expression has been detected in some small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine tumors. As a result, targeted treatment approaches have been developed to inhibit DLL3, providing a potential treatment strategy for these aggressive cancers.
