Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Jagged2 (C83A8) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Jagged2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with Jagged1.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro1212 of human Jagged2.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of total cell lysates from HeLa, SK-OV-3 and SR cells using Jagged2 (C83A8) Rabbit mAb.

Background

Notch signaling is activated upon engagement of the Notch receptor with its ligands, the DSL (Delta, Serrate, Lag2) proteins of single-pass type I membrane proteins. The DSL proteins contain multiple EGF-like repeats and a DSL domain that is required for binding to Notch (1,2). Five DSL proteins have been identified in mammals: Jagged1, Jagged2, Delta-like (DLL) 1, 3 and 4 (3). Ligand binding to the Notch receptor results in two sequential proteolytic cleavages of the receptor by the ADAM protease and the γ-secretase complex. The intracellular domain of Notch is released and then translocates to the nucleus where it activates transcription. Notch ligands may also be processed in a way similiar to Notch, suggesting a bi-directional signaling through receptor-ligand interactions (4-6).
