Immunogen

KLH conjugated to peptides corresponding to amino acids 3-16 of murine Bax (CGSGEQLGSGGPTSS), amino acids 3-16 of human Bax (CGSGEQPRGGGPTSS), and amino acids 12-24 shared by Bax from both species (CGPTSSEQIMKTGA) .

Clonality

Recombinant Monoclonal

Clone

6A7

Type

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Purification

Purified

Dilution

Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. Under normal conditions, BAX is largely cytosolic via constant retrotranslocation from mitochondria to the cytosol mediated by BCL2L1/Bcl-xL, which avoids accumulation of toxic BAX levels at the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) (PubMed:21458670) . Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis.

Format

PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.

Reconstitution

Store at 4C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20C.

Fragment

IgG1, kappa

Specificity

In the presence of nonionic detergent, the antibody avidly binds the monomeric form of Bax, but not Bax complexed with either Bcl-XL or Bcl-2. [6A7 ] Bax antibody only recognizes conformationally changed active Bax.
