Anti-NOTCH 1 Antibody

• Background:

  Anti-Notch 1 Antibody recognizes Notch 1 that is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase (S1 cleavage) in the trans-golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N (TM) 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 (S3 cleavage) to release the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane.

• Description:

  Boster Bio Anti-NOTCH 1 Antibody (Catalog # A00033) . Tested in Dot blot, ELISA, IHC, WB applications. This antibody reacts with Human, Mouse.

• Synonyms:

  Notch1, Neurogenic locus Notch homolog protein 1, hN1, Translocation-associated Notch protein TAN-1

• Gene Name:

  NOTCH1

• UniProt:

  P46531

• Host:

  Rabbit

• Reactivity:

  Human, Mouse

• Immunogen:

  This whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues of human Notch 1 located near the N-terminal sequence of the cleaved N intracellular domain (NICD) .

• Clonality:

  Polyclonal

• Tissue Specificity:

  In fetal tissues most abundant in spleen, brain stem and lung. Also present in most adult tissues where it is found mainly in lymphoid tissues.

• Applications:

  Dot blot, ELISA, IHC, WB

• Field of Research:

  Cardiogenesis, Cardiovascular, Developmental Biology, Embryogenesis, Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Intracellular, Neural Stem Cells, Neurology Process, Neuroscience, Nuclear, Signaling Pathways, Stem Cells, Surface Molecules, Transcription, Transcription Factors/Regulators

• Purification:

  This antiserum is directed against human NOTCH 1. Based on the immunogen sequence, we expect this antibody to react as well with mouse and rat NOTCH 1 (100% sequence homology) . This antibody reacts with mouse Notch constructs present in lysates of HEK 293 cells. Only the cleaved intracellular (activated) form (NICD) is detected. No reactivity is detected against mouse N2, N3 or N4. The immunogen epitope is only exposed after gamma secretase cleavage and is not accessible in the uncleaved form.

• Concentration:

  90 mg/mL by Refractometry

• Form:

  Liquid (sterile filtered)

• Function:

  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 RBPJ/RBPSUH and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. Involved in angiogenesis; negatively regulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration and angiogenic sprouting. Involved in the maturation of both CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the thymus. Important for follicular differentiation and possibly cell fate selection within the follicle. During cerebellar development, functions as a receptor for neuronal DNER and is involved in the differentiation of Bergmann glia. Represses neuronal and myogenic differentiation. May play an essential role in postimplantation development, probably in some aspect of cell specification and/or differentiation. May be involved in mesoderm development, somite formation and neurogenesis. May enhance HIF1A function by sequestering HIF1AN away from HIF1A. Required for the THBS4 function in regulating protective astrogenesis from the subventricular zone (SVZ) niche after injury. Involved in determination of left/right symmetry by modulating the balance between motile and immotile (sensory) cilia at the left-right organiser (LRO) .
