NOTCH1

Cardiovascular System · Angiogenesis & Lymphangiogenesis

Why is NOTCH1 discussed in both development and cancer?

NOTCH1 makes a receptor that tells cells how to specialize as tissues develop. Changes in this signaling can have different effects in an inherited developmental disorder and in a tumor, so the testing context matters.
