Description

Description: Jagged 1-CFS was the first ligand for Notch identified in mammals. Since both the ligands and the receptors are transmembrane proteins, direct cell-cell interactions are thought to be required for activating Notch signaling. Its large extracellular region has a DSL (Delta, Serrate, Lag-2 consensus sequence) domain followed by 16 EGF-like repeats, and a cysteine-rich (CR) region. The DSL motif is necessary for binding to Notch receptors and the EGF repeats modulate the affinity of the interaction with Notch receptors. Notch signaling is implicated in many developmental processes in a variety of cell types. Jagged-Notch signaling specifies cell fate, regulates pattern formation, defines boundaries between different cell types, and modulates cell proliferation and differentiation. Some specific areas where Jagged is involved include hematopoiesis, myogenesis, neurogenesis, and development of the vasculature. Furthermore, Jagged 1 mutations are implicated in Alagille syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by defects in liver, heart, kidney, eye, skeletal, craniofacial tissues.
