Recombinant Human Notch2 (C-6His)

• Background:

  Notch-2 is a 300 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is one of four human Notch homologues involved in developmental processes. Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1), Jagged-2 (JAG2) and Delta-1 (DLL1) to regulate cell-fate determination. Human Notch-2 ECD (aa 26-530) shows 93%, 93%, 96% and 96% aa identity with the corresponding regions of mouse, rat, canine, and bovine Notch-2, respectively. Hajdu Cheney Syndrome (HCS) is a rare disease associated with mutations of NOTCH2 that lead to the translation of a truncated, presumably stable, NOTCH2 protein. NOTCH2 is down-regulated in colon cancer, and reduced expression is associated with a less differentiated, more aggressive phenotype, and reduced overall survival. NOTCH2 has also been shown to have pro-apoptotic and growth suppressive effects in thyroid carcinoma, and carcinoid tumors. NOTCH2 acts as an oncogene that promotes bladder cancer growth and metastasis through EMT, cell-cycle progression, and maintenance of stemness.
