Human Gene NOTCH4 (uc003obb.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens notch 4 (NOTCH4), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_004557): This gene encodes a member of the NOTCH family of proteins. Members of this Type I 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 signaling is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway that regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells through binding of Notch family receptors to their cognate ligands. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed in the trans-Golgi network to generate two polypeptide chains that heterodimerize to form the mature cell-surface receptor. This receptor may play a role in vascular, renal and hepatic development. Mutations in this gene may be associated with schizophrenia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016].

  ID: NOTC4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 4; Short=Notch 4; Short=hNotch4; Contains: RecName: Full=Notch 4 extracellular truncation; Contains: RecName: Full=Notch 4 intracellular domain; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBPJ/RBPSUH and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. Affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs. May regulate branching morphogenesis in the developing vascular system (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N- terminal fragment N(EC) which are probably linked by disulfide bonds (By similarity). Interacts with MAML1, MAML2 and MAML3 which act as transcriptional coactivators for NOTCH4.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Notch 4 intracellular domain: Nucleus. Note=Following proteolytical processing NICD is translocated to the nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the heart, moderately in the lung and placenta and at low levels in the liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, lymph node, thymus, bone marrow and fetal liver. No expression was seen in adult brain or peripheral blood leukocytes.
PTM: Synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase in the trans-Golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C- terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin dependent gamma-secretase to release a notch-derived peptide containing the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane (By similarity).
PTM: Phosphorylated (By similarity).
POLYMORPHISM: The poly-Leu region of NOTCH4 (in the signal peptide) is polymorphic and the number of Leu varies in the population (from 6 to 12).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NOTCH family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 5 ANK repeats.
SIMILARITY: Contains 28 EGF-like domains.
SIMILARITY: Contains 3 LNR (Lin/Notch) repeats.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA09708.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=1438, 1463;

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
