NOTCH4 is co-expressed with DLL4 (Delta-4) and JAG1 (Jagged-1) in the vascular system (Shutter et al. 2000, Uyttendaele et al. 2000). NOTCH4 can be activated by DLL4 and JAG1 when HMVECd cells (human primary endothelial cell line derived from neonatal dermal microvasculature) or HUVEC cells (human umbilical venous endothelial cell line) expressing recombinant mouse Notch4 are co-cultured with HMVECd or HUVEC cells expressing recombinant human or mouse DLL4 (Shawber et al. 2003, Shawber et al. 2007) or mouse Jag1 (Shawber et al. 2007). Activation of NOTCH4 by DLL4 and JAG1 could not be reproduced when the mouse fibroblast cell line NIH 3T3 or human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 was transduced with Notch4- or either Dll4- or Jag1-expressing vectors and used in co-culture experiments (Aste-Amezaga et al. 2010, James et al. 2014).

Signaling by NOTCH4, similar to other NOTCH family proteins, involves proteolytic cleavage of the membrane-bound NOTCH4 receptor and release of the NOTCH4 intracellular domain fragment (NICD4) into the cytosol (Saxena et al. 2001, Das et al. 2004). NICD4 traffics from the cytosol to the nucleus, where it acts as a transcription factor (Lin et al. 2002).
