Cleaved-Notch 2 (D1733) Polyclonal Antibody

Gel pack with blue ice.

NOTCH2 encodes a member of the NOTCH family. Members of this Type 1 transmembrane protein family share structural characteristics including an extracellular domain consisting of multiple epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats, and an intracellular domain consisting of multiple, different domain types. Notch family members play a role in a variety of developmental processes by controlling cell fate decisions. The Notch signaling network is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway which regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells. In Drosophilia, notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands(delta, serrate) establishes an intercellular signaling pathway that plays a key role in development. Homologues of the notch-ligands have also been identified in human, but precise interactions between these ligands and the human notch homologues remain to be determined. Notch 2 is cleaved in the trans-Golgi network, and presented on the cell surface as a heterodimer. Notch 2 functions as a receptor for membrane bound ligands, and may play a role in vascular, renal and hepatic development. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for NOTCH2.

Synthesized peptide derived from the Internal region of human Notch 2 at AA range: 1660-1740

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen
