Description : Jagged-1 is a ligand of the Notch receptor (see Notch1, 190198), and their binding
triggers a cascade of proteolytic cleavage that eventually leads to the release of
the intracellular part of the receptor from the membrane, allowing it to translocate
to the nucleus and activate transcription factors that play key roles in cell differentiation
and morphogenesis (Guarnaccia et al., 2004).;
