OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Notch family. Members of this Type 1 transmembrane protein family share structural characteristics including an extracellular domain consisting of multiple epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats, and an intracellular domain consisting of multiple, different domain types. Notch family members play a role in a variety of developmental processes by controlling cell fate decisions. The Notch signaling network is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway which regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells. In Drosophilia, notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands (delta, serrate) establishes an intercellular signaling pathway that plays a key role in development. Homologues of the notch-ligands have also been identified in human, but precise interactions between these ligands and the human notch homologues remain to be determined. This protein is cleaved in the trans-Golgi network, and presented on the cell surface as a heterodimer. This protein functions as a receptor for membrane bound ligands, and may play a role in vascular, renal and hepatic development. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NOTCH2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NOTCH2 could matter depends on whether native NOTCH2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NOTCH2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native NOTCH2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label NOTCH2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
