General description

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.

Immunogen

Epitope: Cleaved N-Terminus

Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal sequence of the cleaved N intracellular domain (NICD) human Notch 1.

Linkage

Replaces: 04-1046

Physical form

Rabbit polyclonal IgG serum in buffer containing 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.2, containing 0.1% sodium azide.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on Jurkat lysates.

Western Blot Analysis: 1:500 dilution of this lot detected cleaved NOTCH1 on 10 µg of Jurkat lysates.

Specificity

Other species have not been tested.

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.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 6 months at -20°C in undiluted aliquots from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
