Notch1 (D1E11) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Notch1 protein. It recognizes both the full-length (~300 kDa) and the transmembrane/intracellular region NTM (~120 kDa).
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro2438 of human Notch1.
Background
Notch1 is a transmembrane protein functioning in development and the determination of cell fate (1). During maturation, the notch molecule is cleaved by a furin-like convertase at its extracellular domain (2). Upon binding to a ligand such as Delta1, or upon extracellular calcium depletion, the carboxy-terminal notch1 fragment is released and further cleaved between Gly1743 and Val1744 (3,4). The resulting activated cytosolic fragment translocates to the nucleus where it activates transcription.
