Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Source
W IP H M R Mk Endogenous 110 Rabbit

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat  Mk=Monkey
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cleaved Notch1 (Val1744) Antibody detects endogenous levels of the cytosolic domain of notch1 only when cleaved between Gly1743 and Val1744. The antibody does not recognize full length notch1 or notch1 cleaved at other positions. This antibody may cross react with overexpressed cleaved notch2, 3 and 4.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to the sequence at the Val1744 cleavage site of human notch1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells transfected with full-length Notch1, either untreated or treated with 5 mM EDTA for 15 minutes, and MOLT-4 extracts, using Cleaved Notch 1 (Val1744) Antibody.

Background

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.
