Notch-mediated juxtacrine signal between adjacent cells Notch signaling steps. The Notch signaling pathway is a highly conserved cell signaling system present in most animals. [1] Mammals possess four different notch receptors, referred to as NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and NOTCH4. [2] The notch receptor is a single-pass transmembrane receptor protein.
This is an example of a locally acting (negative feedback) mechanism. An example of upregulation is the response of liver cells exposed to such xenobiotic molecules as dioxin . In this situation, the cells increase their production of cytochrome P450 enzymes , which in turn increases degradation of these dioxin molecules.

JAG1 was first identified as a ligand that was able to activate notch receptors when the rat gene Jagged encoding a protein homolog was cloned in 1995. [5] [6] The structure of the JAG1 protein includes a small intracellular component, a transmembrane motif, proceeded by an extracellular region containing a cystine-rich region, 16 EGF-like repeats, a DSL domain, and finally a signal peptide ...
Numb acts as an oncogene suppressor, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation through suppression of Notch signaling. Increased Notch signaling is observed in tumors where Numb activity has been lost and retrovirally mediated transient overexpression of Numb protein in these tumors restored basal levels of Notch signaling and significantly reduced ...
Vascular signaling (purple), Stem cell signaling (blue), and Hypoxia (green) are the major pathways shown. Another major mechanism through which vasculogenic mimicry is induced is hypoxia . Hypoxia is very common in tumors due to insufficient vasculature to provide oxygen for the rapidly proliferating tumor issues within what is known as the ...
Regulation of gene expression by a hormone receptor Diagram showing at which stages in the DNA-mRNA-protein pathway expression can be controlled. Regulation of gene expression, or gene regulation, [1] includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA).
The Notch signaling pathway is an intercellular signaling mechanism that is essential for proper embryonic development. Members of the Notch gene family encode transmembrane receptors that are critical for various cell fate decisions. The protein encoded by this gene is one of several ligands that activate Notch and related receptors.
