Recombinant Human Protein jagged-1 (JAG1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P78504

Target Species

Human

Target Name

JAG1

Target Full Name

Protein jagged-1

Target Function

Ligand for multiple Notch receptors and involved in the mediation of Notch signaling. May be involved in cell-fate decisions during hematopoiesis. Seems to be involved in early and late stages of mammalian cardiovascular development. Inhibits myoblast differentiation. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced angiogenesis (in vitro).

Target Involvement

Alagille syndrome 1 (ALGS1); Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues. In cervix epithelium expressed in undifferentiated subcolumnar reserve cells and squamous metaplasia. Expression is up-regulated in cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Expressed in bone marrow cell line HS-27a wh

Target Background

The jagged 1 protein encoded by JAG1 is the human homolog of the Drosophilia jagged protein. Human jagged 1 is the ligand for the receptor notch 1, the latter is involved in signaling processes. Mutations that alter the jagged 1 protein cause Alagille syndrome. Jagged 1 signalling through notch 1 has also been shown to play a role in hematopoiesis.
