Anti-DLL1 antibody [1F9],Abcam,AB252824

Target data Transmembrane ligand protein of NOTCH1, NOTCH2 and NOTCH3 receptors that binds the extracellular domain (ECD) of Notch receptor in a cis and trans fashion manner (PubMed : 10958687, PubMed : 21985982). Following transinteraction, ligand cells produce mechanical force that depends of a clathrin-mediated endocytosis, requiring ligand ubiquitination, EPN1 interaction, and actin polymerisation; these events promote Notch receptor extracellular domain (NECD) transendocytosis and triggers Notch signaling through induction of cleavage, hyperphosphorylation, and nuclear accumulation of the intracellular domain of Notch receptors (NICD) (PubMed : 10958687, PubMed : 18676613). Is required for embryonic development and maintenance of adult stem cells in many different tissues and immune systeme; the DLL1-induced Notch signaling is mediated through an intercellular communication that regulates cell lineage, cell specification, cell patterning and morphogenesis through effects on differentiation and proliferation (PubMed : 16495313, PubMed : 17194759, PubMed : 17960184, PubMed : 18997111, PubMed : 19144989, PubMed : 19389377, PubMed : 19562077, PubMed : 20081190, PubMed : 21238454, PubMed : 21572390, PubMed : 22096075, PubMed : 22282195, PubMed : 22529374, PubMed : 22940113, PubMed : 23688253, PubMed : 23695674, PubMed : 23699523, PubMed : 23806616, PubMed : 25220152, PubMed : 26114479, PubMed : 7671806). Plays a role in brain development at different level, namely by regulating neuronal differentiation of neural precursor cells via cell-cell interaction, most likely through the lateral inhibitory system in an endogenous level dependent-manner (PubMed : 18997111, PubMed : 7671806). During neocortex development, Dll1-Notch signaling transmission is mediated by dynamic interactions between intermediate neurogenic progenitors and radial glia; the cell-cell interactions are mediated via dynamic and transient elongation processes, likely to reactivate/maintain Notch activity in neighboring progenitors, and coordinate progenitor cell division and differentiation across radial and zonal boundaries (PubMed : 23699523). During cerebellar development, regulates Bergmann glial monolayer formation and its morphological maturation through a Notch signaling pathway (PubMed : 23688253). At the retina and spinal cord level, regulates neurogenesis by preventing the premature differentiation of neural progenitors and also by maintaining progenitors in spinal cord through Notch signaling pathway (PubMed : 19389377, PubMed : 26114479). Also controls neurogenesis of the neural tube in a progenitor domain-specific fashion along the dorsoventral axis (PubMed : 20081190). Maintains quiescence of neural stem cells and plays a role as a fate determinant that segregates asymmetrically to one daughter cell during neural stem cells mitosis, resulting in neuronal differentiation in Dll1-inheriting cell (PubMed : 23695674). Plays a role in immune systeme development, namely the development of all T-cells and marginal zone (MZ) B cells (PubMed : 15146182, PubMed : 19217325). 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 (By similarity). Upon MMP14 cleavage, negatively regulates Notch signaling in haematopoietic progenitor cells to specifically maintain normal B-cell development in bone marrow (PubMed : 21572390). Also plays a role during muscle development. During early development, inhibits myoblasts differentiation from the medial dermomyotomal lip and later regulates progenitor cell differentiation (PubMed : 17194759). Directly modulates cell adhesion and basal lamina formation in satellite cells through Notch signaling. Maintains myogenic progenitors pool by suppressing differentiation through down-regulation of MYOD1 and is required for satellite cell homing and PAX7 expression (PubMed : 22940113). During craniofacial and trunk myogenesis suppresses differentiation of cranial mesoderm-derived and somite-derived muscle via MYOD1 regulation but in cranial mesoderm-derived progenitors, is neither required for satellite cell homing nor for PAX7 expression (PubMed : 25220152). Also plays a role during pancreatic cell development. During type B pancreatic cell development, may be involved in the initiation of proximodistal patterning in the early pancreatic epithelium (PubMed : 22529374). Stimulates multipotent pancreatic progenitor cells proliferation and pancreatic growth by maintaining HES1 expression and PTF1A protein levels (PubMed : 22096075). During fetal stages of development, is required to maintain arterial identity and the responsiveness of arterial endothelial cells for VEGFA through regulation of KDR activation and NRP1 expression (PubMed : 19144989). Controls sprouting angiogenesis and subsequent vertical branch formation through regulation on tip cell differentiation (PubMed : 22282195). Negatively regulates goblet cell differentiation in intestine and controls secretory fat commitment through lateral inhibition in small intestine (PubMed : 21238454, PubMed : 21915337). Plays a role during inner ear development; negatively regulates auditory hair cell differentiation (PubMed : 16495313). Plays a role during nephron development through Notch signaling pathway (PubMed : 23806616). Regulates growth, blood pressure and energy homeostasis (PubMed : 19562077).
