Notch/ankyrin repeat

Tandemly repeated module of about 33 amino acid residues origionally identified as a site anchoring ankyrin to tubulin. It is present in transmembrane receptors, cytoskeletal proteins & transcription factors. It mediates protein-protein interactions crucial for intercellular signalling (4).
