General description

Notch 1 is a type 1 membrane protein that serves as a receptor for the membrane bound ligands jagged-1 and -2 and delta-1 to regulate cell fate determination through the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. Upon ligand binding, the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) is released by proteolytic processing and subsequently translocates to the nucleus where it forms a transcriptionally active complex with RBP-J kappa to activate genes of the enhancer of split locus. Notch-1 may also be involved in cell specification and/or differentiation and body segment determination in the postimplantation embryo. In the adult animal, Notch-1 is highly expressed in the brain, lung, and thymus with lower expression levels in the spleen, bone-marrow, spinal cord, eyes, mammary gland, liver, intestine, skeletal muscle, kidney and heart.

Immunogen

Epitope: extracellular

A GST fusion protein comprising amino acids 1299-1492 of mouse Notch 1

Physical form

Unpurified tissue culture supernatant from a perfusion system, filtered through a 0.2 micron membrane prior to vialing. Product contains 20% FBS and Ciprofloxacin at final concentration of 10 µg/mL.

Specificity

Reacts with natural and recombinant Notch1. Recognizes a band migrating at approximately 300 kDa on Western blots of rat and mouse protein extracts. A cross reactive band migrating at approximately 230 kDa is observed in some samples and is believed to correspond to the processed extracellular fragment of Notch 1.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
