Abstract excerpt
Notch-1 is a transmembrane receptor protein that directs T-cell differentiation. Gain-of-function mutations in Notch-1 have been reported in more than 50% of human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). The current study was undertaken to characterize mutations in the heterodimerization (HD) domain and proline, glutamic acid, serine, threonine-rich (PEST) domain of the Notch-1 receptor. RNA was isolated...
