Anti-Notch 2 (Notch2, Notch-2, Neurogenic Locus Notch Homolog Protein 2 Precursor, hN2, AGS2)

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. Notch2 is a member of Notch family and mutation in Notch2 is associated with Alagille syndrome (5). Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
