Anti-BAK/BAK1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

BAK, officially called Bcl2 antagonist killer, is a protein that in humans, encoded by the BAK gene.The BAK protein is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 gene family which is involved in initiating apoptosis. BAK gene spans 7.6 kb and contains 6 exons.By Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from human/rodent somatic cell hybrids, BAK gene is localized to chromosome 6.This protein localizes to mitochondria, and functions to induce apoptosis. It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome. This protein also interacts with the tumor suppressor P53 after exposure to cell stress.

Synonyms

Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer; Apoptosis regulator BAK; Bcl-2-like protein 7; Bcl2-L-7; BAK1; BAK, BCL2L7, CDN1

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human BAK1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the heart and skeletal muscle.

Flow Cytometry

Field of Research

Signal Transduction, Signaling Pathway

Purification

Function

In the presence of an appropriate stimulus, accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the anti- apoptotic action of BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Low micromolar levels of zinc ions inhibit the promotion of apoptosis. .
