Clone REA849 recognizes the human neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 (Notch1) antigen, a 300 kDa single-pass type I membrane protein also known as translocation-associated notch protein (TAN-1). Following cleavage in the Golgi, notch forms a heterodimer composed of a 180–200 kDa disulfide-linked extracellular domain (Notch extracellular truncation (NEXT)), and a 120 kDa membrane-bound intracellular portion (Notch intracellular domain (NICD)). Upon ligand binding the latter is cleaved to form the notch intracellular domain transcription factor. Notch signaling controls cell fate decisions and is involved in multiple cellular differentiation steps during embryonic development and in adult organisms. In the immune system, Notch1 plays a non-redundant role for thymic T cell development. Notch1 is also expressed by peripheral T cells and upregulated upon T cell activation and also found on bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, NK cells, B cells, and monocytes .
Additional information: Clone REA849 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
