Anti-Notch-1 (9930111A19RIK, hN1, LIN12, Lin-12, MIS6, Neurogenic Locus Notch Homolog Protein 1, NOT

Notch-1 (so named for "notches" in fly wings, also TAN-1) is a 300kD, 2538aa member of the notch family of type I TM glycoproteins. It is associated with gene activation in both embryo and adult. It undergoes Golgi processing to generate a heterodimer composed of a 180-200kD disulfide-linked extracellular domain, and a 120kD membrane-bound segment that is cleaved to form the notch intracellular domain transcription factor upon ligand binding. Mouse Notch-1 ECD (aa19-526), including the first 13 EGF repeats, shares 91% and 95% aa identity with corresponding regions of human and rat Notch-1, respectively, and 55-58% aa identity with mouse Notch-2 and Notch-3.
