Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry): 1:100 - 1:200
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)
Specificity / Sensitivity
Notch1 (D6F11) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody detects intracellular epitopes between 2450 and 2550 amino acids of human Notch1. This antibody recognizes both the full-length (~300 KDa) and the NTM region (~120 KDa), which consists of a short extracellular juxtamembrane peptide, a transmembrane sequence and the intracellular domain (NICD). This antibody antibody cannot detect the extracellular (ligand-binding) domain of Notch1 following cleavage at the S2 site by ADAM-type metalloproteases.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro2498 of human Notch1.
Background
Notch proteins (Notch1-4) are a family of transmembrane receptors that play important roles in development and the determination of cell fate (1). Mature Notch receptors are processed and assembled as heterodimeric proteins, with each dimer composed of a large extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single-pass transmembrane domain, and a smaller cytoplasmic subunit (Notch intracellular domain, NICD) (2). Binding of Notch receptors to ligands of the Delta-Serrate-Lag2 (DSL) family triggers heterodimer dissociation, exposing the receptors to proteolytic cleavages; these result in release of the NICD, which translocates to the nucleus and activates transcription of downstream target genes (3,4).
