Specificity
The Notch2 protein has many isoforms. The immunogenic sequence for the anti-Notch2 antibody is identical to the same region in full length (260+ kDa) as well as the cleaved forms ~82 kDa each (Notch 2 extracellular truncation & Notch 2 intracellular domain) and the post translationally modified forms thereof.

General notes
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Function
Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 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. 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. Positively regulates self-renewal of liver cancer cells (PubMed:25985737). -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in the brain, heart, kidney, lung, skeletal muscle and liver. Ubiquitously expressed in the embryo. -
Involvement in disease
Alagille syndrome 2
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the NOTCH family.
Contains 6 ANK repeats.
Contains 35 EGF-like domains.
Contains 3 LNR (Lin/Notch) repeats. -
Post-translational
modificationsSynthesized 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. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin dependent gamma-secretase to release a notch-derived peptide containing the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane.
Hydroxylated by HIF1AN.
Can be either O-glucosylated or O-xylosylated at Ser-613 by POGLUT1. -
Cellular localization
Cell membrane and Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Following proteolytical processing NICD is translocated to the nucleus. Retained at the cytoplasm by C8orf4 (PubMed:25985737). - Information by UniProt

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of CD-1 mice testes tissue sections labeling Notch2 with ab8926 at 1/100 dilution. CD-1 mice testes were fixed in 4% neutral phosphate buffered formalin at room temperature for 24 h and, after subsequent dehydration in ethanol, were embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections were stained by haematoxylin and identification of cell types was done through histology; The antigen retrieval step was performed in citrate buffer (10 mM, pH 6.0), Blocking was performed in PBS with 2% w/v bovine serum albumin for one hour at room temperature. Tissue sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-Notch2 (ab8926). Positive immunostaining in brown color. Notch2 is expressed in germ cells entering meiosis.
