Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Notch1 (5B5) Rat mAb detects endogenous levels of total Notch1 protein. It recognizes both the full-length (~ 300 kDa) protein and the transmembrane/intracellular region NTM (~120 kDa).

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a fusion protein corresponding to intracellular residues of Notch1.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from A2780 and A204 cells using Notch1 (5B5) Rat mAb. The transmembrane/intracellular region (NTM) is indicated.

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.
