Background

Anti Notch 2 Antibody recognizes Notch 2 that is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase (S1 cleavage) in the trans-golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N (TM) and a N-terminal fragment N (EC) . Following ligand binding, it is cleaved (S2 cleavage) by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called Notch extracellular truncation (NEXT) . This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase (S3 cleavage) to release the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane. Notch functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBP-J kappa and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs.

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human

Immunogen

This whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region near amino acid residues 2390-2415 of human Notch 2 (the total protein is 2471 aa) . A residue of cysteine was added to the amino terminal end to facilitate coupling.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Applications

ELISA, IHC, WB

Field of Research

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling, Intracellular, Neural Stem Cells, Neurology Process, Neuroscience, Nuclear, Signaling Pathways, Stem Cells, Surface Molecules, Transcription

Purification

This antiserum is directed against human NOTCH 2. The peptide sequence shows 100% alignment with human, dog and chimpanzee sequence. Only one (1) amino acid difference is found in mouse and this change is non-conservative. Based on the sequence we expect this antibody to react as well with rat and mouse NOTCH 2. No specific information is available for other reactivities.
