General info

Function

Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1), Jagged-2 (JAG2) and Delta-1 (DLL1) to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBPJ/RBPSUH and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus (PubMed : 21378985, PubMed : 21378989). Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs (By similarity). Involved in bone remodeling and homeostasis. In collaboration with RELA/p65 enhances NFATc1 promoter activity and positively regulates RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation (PubMed : 29149593). Positively regulates self-renewal of liver cancer cells (PubMed : 25985737).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the NOTCH family.

Post-translational modifications

Synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase in the trans-Golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form (By similarity). Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC) (By similarity). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called notch extracellular truncation (NEXT) (By similarity). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin dependent gamma-secretase to release a notch-derived peptide containing the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane (By similarity).. Hydroxylated by HIF1AN.. Can be either O-glucosylated or O-xylosylated at Ser-613 by POGLUT1.. Phosphorylated by GSK3. GSK3-mediated phosphorylation is necessary for NOTCH2 recognition by FBXW7, ubiquitination and degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome pathway.
