Abstract excerpt
Using an antibody directed against gamma-secretase-generated antigen unique to activated Notch1, we mapped Notch1 activation strictly to suprabasal cells in epidermis, nail matrix, and other skin appendages during normal development. The consequences of Notch1 activation in keratinizing nail cells were investigated in a transgenic mouse model. Ectopic activation of Notch1 in postmitotic cells within the nail...
