NOTCH1, TAN1, Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1, Notch 1, hN1, Translocation-associated notch protein TAN-1
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. Involved in angiogenesis, negatively regulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration and angiogenic sprouting.
