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

Notch proteins (Notch1-4) are a family of transmembrane receptors that play important roles in development and the determination of cell fate (1). Mature Notch receptors are processed and assembled as heterodimeric proteins, with each dimer comprised of a large extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single-pass transmembrane domain, and a smaller cytoplasmic subunit (Notch intracellular domain, NICD) (2). Binding of Notch receptors to ligands of the Delta-Serrate-Lag2 (DSL) family triggers heterodimer dissociation, exposing the receptors to proteolytic cleavages; these result in release of the NICD, which translocates to the nucleus and activates transcription of downstream target genes (3-4).
