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. The protein is cleaved in the trans-Golgi network, and presented on the cell surface as a heterodimer. This protein functions as a receptor for membrane bound ligands. Once the Notch extracellular domain interacts with a ligand, a protease called TACE (Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Converting Enzyme) cleaves the Notch protein just outside the membrane. This releases the extracellular portion of Notch, which continues to interact with the ligand. The ligand plus the Notch extracellular domain is then endocytosed by the ligand expressing cell. After this first cleavage, an enzyme called gamma-secretase cleaves the remaining part of the Notch protein just inside the inner leaflet of the cell membrane. This releases the intracellular portion of the Notch protein, which then moves to the nucleus and causes various genes to be expressed. There are many other proteins involved in the intracellular portion of the Notch signalling cascade.
This peptide can be used as a blocking peptide for the rabbit polyclonal to Notch-1 (ab8925).
