When recombinant human Notch-1-Fc Chimera is immobilized at 5 µg/mL, biotinylated recombinant rat Jagged-1 binds with EC50 of 0.2 - 0.8 µg/mL in a functional ELISA. -
Stability testing for recombinant human Notch-1-Fc Chimera. Recombinant human Notch-1-Fc Chimera was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.2 at 0.2 mg/ml. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x freeze/thaws), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with biotinylated recombinant rat Jagged-1.
Human Notch-1 is a large type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is involved in cell fate specification, differentiation, and tissue patterning. Notch has two distinct domains, an extracellular domain (NECD) responsible for the interaction with the ligands and an intracellular domain (NICD) responsible for signal transduction. Human NECD (amino acid 19-526) shows 91% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat NECD. There are five Notch ligands (DLL1, DLL3, DLL4, Jagged-1 and Jagged-2) and four Notch receptors (Notch-1 to Notch-4) in mammals. Interactions of Notch receptors with membrane bound ligands result in sequential proteolysis by ADAM (disintegrin metalloprotease) and then by presenilin/gamma secretase, resulting in the shedding of NECD and the generation of soluble NICD signaling fragments. The NICD translocates to the nucleus and interacts with transcriptional factors to promote the transcription of target genes. Notch-1 is involved in angiogenesis by negatively regulating endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenic sprouting. It is also involved in the maturation of both CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the thymus. Notch-1 is important for follicular differentiation and cell fate selection within the follicle. Notch-1 functions as a receptor for neuronal DNER and is involved in the differentiation of Bergmann glia.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
