This gene is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol numb (CG3779, FBgn0002973). It has the cytological map location 30B3-30B5. Its sequence location is 2L:9437513..9463293. Its molecular function is described as: protein binding; nucleic acid binding; receptor binding; Notch binding. It is involved in the biological processes described with 21 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; cell fate commitment; cell division; regulation of biological process; Notch signaling pathway; sensory organ development; organ development; central nervous system development; regulation of Notch signaling pathway; muscle cell differentiation; neuroblast fate commitment; regulation of neurogenesis; behavior; protein localization; negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway. 61 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 218 unique terms, many of which group under: hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system; adult abdominal myoblast; peripheral nervous system; larval abdominal segment 5; abdominal oblique muscle; embryonic nervous system; nervous system; embryonic neuron; abdominal transverse muscle. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.

Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
numb: numb
The numb gene must be able to function in the Drosophila embryo in order for the peripheral sensory neurons to acquire their correct identity. In the mutants, the precursors of neurons and glial cells in the external sensory (es) organs are, for the most part, transformed into nonneural support cells; some of the es organs are duplicated. Transformation of neuron precursors into nonneural cells also occurs in the chordotonal (ch) organs. Precursors of the multiple dendrite (md) neurons undergo similar changes. Muscle development is abnormal in numb mutant alleles; some muscles are fewer in number than in wild type and show pattern changes (Uemura et al.).

Comments
The phosphotyrosine binding domains (PID) of most polypeptides studied preferentially bind peptides containing an NPXpY motif (X = any amino acid), whereas the the PID of numb protein binds peptides with a "YIGPY#" motif (# = a hydrophobic amino acid). The affinity of the PID domain for the peptide increases when the second tyrosine is phosphorylated. The GP(p)Y core motif is required for high-affinity binding. The same amino acids in the numb PID are likely to bind both the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of the peptide.
