| Background Information | Notch is a family of single-pass transmembrane receptor proteins that are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form and are proteolytically cleaved on an extracellular site by a furin-like convertase (S1 cleavage) in the trans-golgi network after the recognition of the RQRR sequence before it reaches the plasma membrane as heterodimers to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. The Notch family is comprised of 4 members (1-4) whose ligands include the Delta and Jagged family of ligands. These ligands cause proteolysis of Notch to liberate the intracellular domain. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TN) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved (S2 cleavage) by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called Notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase between gly1743 and val1744 (S3 cleavage) to release the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane. That domain translocates to the nucleus and initiates transcription events by binding the DNA binding protein CSL. The notch family members are involved cell differentiation and development. |

| Biological Information | |
|---|---|
| Immunogen | Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal sequence of the cleaved N intracellular domain (NICD) human Notch 1. |
| Epitope | Cleaved N-Terminus |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Specificity | Notch 1, cleaved N terminal. Only the cleaved intracellular (activated) form is detected. No reactivity is detected against mouse N2, N3 or N4. This epitope is exposed only after gamma secretase cleavage and is not accessible in the uncleaved form. |
| Isotype | IgG |
| Species Reactivity |

| Entrez Gene Number |

| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes a member of the Notch family. Members of this Type 1 transmembrane protein family share structural characteristics including an extracellular domain consisting of multiple epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats, and an intracellular domain consisting of multiple, different domain types. Notch family members play a role in a variety of developmental processes by controlling cell fate decisions. The Notch signaling network is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway which regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells. In Drosophilia, notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands (delta, serrate) establishes an intercellular signaling pathway that plays a key role in development. Homologues of the notch-ligands have also been identified in human, but precise interactions between these ligands and the human notch homologues remain to be determined. This protein is cleaved in the trans-Golgi network, and presented on the cell surface as a heterodimer. This protein functions as a receptor for membrane bound ligands, and may play multiple roles during development. |

| UniProt Number |
|
| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P46531 # Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBP-J kappa and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. May be important for normal lymphocyte function. In altered form, may contribute to transformation or progression in some T-cell neoplasms. Involved in the maturation of both CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the thymus. May be important for follicular differentiation and possibly cell fate selection within the follicle. During cerebellar development, may function as a receptor for neuronal DNER and may be involved in the differentiation of Bergmann glia (By similarity). SIZE: 2556 amino acids; 272500 Da |
