Anti-Bid Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 10F4)

BID (BH3-Interacting Domain Death Agonist), is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family. The BCL2 family of proteins consists of both antagonists and agonists that regulate apoptosis and compete through dimerization. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Wang et al. (1998) mapped the human BID gene to 22q11. Luo et al. (1998) reported the purification of a cytosolic protein that induces cytochrome c release from mitochondria in response to caspase-8, the apical caspase activated by cell surface death receptors such as FAS and TNF.

E.coli-derived human Bid recombinant protein (Position: M1-D195) . Human Bid shares 64% and 61% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat Bid, respectively.

Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in spleen, bone marrow, cerebral and cerebellar cortex. Isoform 2 is expressed in spleen, pancreas and placenta (at protein level) . Isoform 3 is expressed in lung, pancreas and spleen (at protein level) . Isoform 4 is expressed in lung and pancreas (at protein level) .

The major proteolytic product p15 BID allows the release of cytochrome c. Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 4 induce ICE-like proteases and apoptosis. Isoform 3 does not induce apoptosis. Counters the protective effect of Bcl-2.
