NOTCH signalling plays a fundamental role during a great number of developmental processes in multicellular animals [1-2]. NOD and NODP represent a region present in many NOTCH proteins and NOTCH homologs in multiple species such as NOTCH2 and NOTCH3, LIN12, SC1 and TAN1. Role of NOD domain remains to be elucidated.
