Delta-1 (also known as Delta-like 1, DLL1) is an 80-100kD vertebrate homolog of the Drosophila delta protein. Rat Delta-1 is a type I transmembrane protein that is 697aa in length. It contains a 520aa extracellular domain (ECD) and a 154aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD has one DSL segment (aa158-220) and eight consecutive EGF-like domains (aa225-515). Proteolytic processing of Delta-1 by ADAMs generates soluble intracellular and extracellular domains. Delta-1 binds to Notch and limits monocyte development while promoting T cell and DC development.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:16000
Western Blot: 0.3-1ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Mouse Heart and Rat Heart lysates
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
