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. The role of the NOD and NODP domains remains to be elucidated.
