Rabbit Anti-DLL1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The LIN-12/Notch family of transmembrane receptors is believed to play a central role in development by regulating cell fate decisions. Notch proteins have been found to be overexpressed or rearranged in human tumors. Ligands for Notch include Jagged, Jagged-2 and Delta. While blocking the differentiation of progenitor cells into the B cell lineage, Delta promotes the emergence of a population of cells with T cell/NK-cell characteristics. Delta is a membrane protein expressed in heart, pancreas, brain and muscle during gastrulation and early organogenesis, and in adult heart and lung.
Function:
Acts as a ligand for Notch receptors. Blocks the differentiation of progenitor cells into the B-cell lineage while promoting the emergence of a population of cells with the characteristics of a T-cell/NK-cell precursor.
Subunit:
Interacts with Notch receptors.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in heart and pancreas, with lower expression in brain and muscle and almost no expression in placenta, lung, liver and kidney.
Post-translational modifications:
Ubiquitinated by MIB (MIB1 or MIB2), leading to its endocytosis and subsequent degradation.
Similarity:
Contains 1 DSL domain.
Contains 8 EGF-like domains.
