Anti-Notch-1 (Notch1, Neurogenic Locus Notch Homolog Protein 1, Notch 1, hN1, Translocation-associat

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 (aa18-1664), and a 120kD membrane-bound segment (aa1665-2556) that is cleaved to form the notch intracellular domain transcription factor upon ligand binding. Human Notch-1 ECD aa19-526, including the first 13 EGF repeats, shows 91% aa identity with corresponding regions of mouse and rat Notch-1, and 60% aa identity with human Notch-2 and Notch-3.
