Provided herein are Notch1 fusion proteins. These fusion proteins comprise consecutive amino acids the sequence of which, commencing at the N-terminus of the fusion protein, is identical to the sequence of the amino acids in an extracellular domain of a human Notch1 receptor protein and an Fc portion of an antibody. The amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the human Notch1 receptor protein commences with the amino acid present at the N-terminus of EGF-like repeat 10 and extends at least through the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 23. The N-terminal portion of the ECD of the human Notch1 receptor protein may extend up to the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 24 or may extend up to the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 36. Compositions of these fusion proteins are also provided. Also provided are methods of treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and cancer using the fusion proteins described herein.

Human Notch1 decoys

Provided herein are Notch1 fusion proteins. These fusion proteins comprise consecutive amino acids the sequence of which, commencing at the N-terminus of the fusion protein, is identical to the sequence of the amino acids in an extracellular domain of a human Notch1 receptor protein and an Fc portion of an antibody. The amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the human Notch1 receptor protein commences with the amino acid present at the N-terminus of BGF-like repeat 10 and extends at least through the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 23. The N-terminal portion of the ECD of the human Notch1 receptor protein may extend up to the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 24 or may extend up to the C-terminal amino acid of EGF-like repeat 36.
