This antibody recognises mouse Delta-like protein 4 (DLL4), one of the five major ligands of the Notch signaling pathway, activated through the binding of specific ligands to the Notch receptors Notch 1-4.DLL4 is expressed by vascular endothelium, and plays a vital role in embryonic vascular development. DLL4 signaling has been shown to play a role in the angiogenesis of clear-cell renal tumors, and pancreatic, bladder and colonic cancer. DLL4 expression in endothelium cells, can be up-regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic-FGF, and by HIF1 alpha, and that blockade of DLL4 inhibits tumor growth by promoting non-productive angiogenesis.
