    basic FUNCTION
  • NOTCH1 ligand playing a pivotal role in the development of the organ of Corti and specification of some vestibular sensory epithelia
  • functioning as WNT-dependent Notch signaling activator, and key molecule maintaining the homeostasis of stem and progenitor cells
  • JAG1 expression decreased hair cells, JAG1 suppression increased hair cells
  • undergoing a metalloprotease-dependent cleavage resulting in the shedding of its extracellular domain and this domain seems able to fulfill a biological function, probably by antagonizing Notch signaling
  • playing an essential role for vascular remodeling, and its primary role is to potentiate the development of neighboring vascular smooth muscle
  • involved in endothelial-pericyte interactions
  • DLL4 and Jagged1 have opposing effects on angiogenesis
  • unique role for JAG1 in preventing the induction of T-lineage differentiation in hematopoietic stem cells
  • crucial role for JAG1 in valve morphogenesis
  • in addition to its role in early heart development, JAG1 signaling is required postnatally to prevent valve calcification
  • crucial role for JAG1 in the endocardium during heart development
  • JAG1-regulated angiogenesis
  • JAG1-mediated NOTCH1 signaling regulates multiple cell fate decisions as well as differentiation in the respiratory system to coordinate lung development and to maintain a balance of airway cell types in adult life
  • is necessary for postnatal and adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus
  • JAG1 intracellular domain-mediated inhibition of NOTCH1 signalling regulates cardiac homeostasis in the postnatal heart
  • JAG1 signaling within the osteoblast lineage regulates bone metabolism in a compartment-dependent manner
  • critical role of osteolineage JAG1 in bone homeostasis, where JAG1 maintains the transition of osteoprogenitor (OP) to maturing osteoblasts
  • DLL4 and JAG1 promote tumour growth by modulating tumour angiogenesis via different mechanisms
  • JAG1/NOTCH3 signaling pathway plays a key role in angiogenesis of breast cancer
  • both NOTCH1 and its ligands DLL1 and JAG1 in B cells promote antibody production
  • membrane expression of JAG1 is necessary but not sufficient for JAG1 function

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • JAG2
  • interacting with PAX9 (acting downstream of GLI)3 in vertebrate limb development
  • binding of JAG1 intracellular region to the PDZ domain of afadin couples Notch signaling with the adhesion system and the cytoskeleton
  • shed by ADAM17 in a lipid-raft-independent manner, and that the cytosolic domain of the former protein is not a pre-requisite for either constitutive or regulated shedding
  • BACE1 can effectively shed the membrane-anchored signaling molecule JAG1 but BACE1 fails to cleave JAG2
  • repression of SOX9 by JAG1 is continuously required to suppress the default chondrogenic fate of vascular smooth muscle cells
  • DLL1 and JAG1 function redundantly and are necessary to maintain the centroacinar cells as an environmental niche in the developing pancreas
  • JAG1-mediated NOTCH1 signaling regulates differentiation of Basal cells (BC) into secretory cells
  • JAG1 Regulates GDNF Expression in Sertoli cells
  • JAG1 and NOTCH2 play a key role in kidney fibrosis development by regulating TFAM expression and metabolic reprogramming
  • DLL4 and JAG1 mediated NR4A1-induced angiogenic responses and signaling molecules, but not the expression of integrins
  • JAG1 is a transmembrane ligand that interacts with Notch receptors to influence gene expression in a variety of tissues
