ANTI-NOTCH1 ANTIBODY MOUSE MONOCLONAL CLONE MN1A PURIFIED FROM HYBRIDOMA CELL CULTURE

General description

Recognizes human and mouse Notch1 (~300 kDa and 120 kDa) once Notch1 is cleaved. The antibody does not recognize Notch 2, 3, or 4. It has high affinity for the activated intracellular form of Notch.

The Notch protein family is a group of highly conserved proteins important in the determination of cell fate and maintenance of progenitors in many developmental systems.In mammals, four Notch genes were identified (Notch1-4) in a wide variety of cells and play a crucial role in differentiation and development. Notch proteins contain three main domains: an extracellular domain containing tandem epidermal growth factor repeats, and three lin-12/Notch repeats, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domainthat contains six cdc1-/SW16/ankyrin repeats, nuclear localization signals, and a C-terminal OPA/PEST region.

Specificity

Recognizes human and mouse Notch1 (~300 kDa and 120 kDa) once Notch1 is cleaved. The antibody does not recognize Notch 2, 3, or 4. It has high affinity for the activated intracellular form of Notch.

Immunogen

recombinant protein containing the cdc10-NCR region of mouse Notch1.

Application

Anti-Notch1 antibody, mouse monoclonal has been used in:

• enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• immunoblotting
• immunocytochemistry
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

NOTCH is a ubiquitous and essential component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays a vital role in tissue repair mechanism. Fibronectin functions both as a regulator of cellular processes and as an important scaffolding protein to maintain and direct tissue organization and ECM composition.Fibronectin is suggested to enhance cell adhesion, spreading and affect the routes of cell migration both in vivo and in culture. It has been shown that upon malignant transformation many cells lose most of their surface bound fibronectin.

Physical form
