C-terminal deletion of NOTCH1 intracellular domain (N1ICD) increases its stability but does not amplify and recapitulate N1ICD-dependent signalling

Abstract Since the generation of a mouse strain conditionally expressing the active intracellular domain of Notch1 (N1ICD), many laboratories have exploited this model (RosaN1-ICD) to assess the impact of constitutive Notch1 signalling activation in normal and pathological processes. It should be un...
