| Description |
Bax is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins which act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators. Bax forms a heterodimer with Bcl-2 and functions as an apoptotic activator by accelerating programmed cell death. Bax expression is regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 and has been shown to be involved in p53-mediated apoptosis. A number of Bax isoforms are produced from alternative splicing. |

| Unit size |
100 µg |
| Antigen |
A synthetic peptide (DELDSNMELQRMIA) corresponding to a region (68-81) from human Bax isoform alpha. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA. |
| Other Names |
Apoptosis regulator BAX; Bcl-2-like protein 4; BCL2L4; Bcl2-L-4; |
| Accession |
Q07812 BAX_HUMAN; |
| Produced in |
Rabbit |
| Purity |
Affinity purified on antigen column |
| Applications |
Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/ml is recommended for WB. Human Bax (isoform alpha) has a predicted length of 192 amino acids and MW of 21 kDa. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity |
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB against the antigen. |
| Cross-reactivity |
Human; mouse; rat; |

If you wish to use this product in a species other than those specified here and want to determine the amino acid sequence homology between the immunogen and the corresponding protein in that species, simply copy the amino acid sequence for this immunogen and test it on the BLAST database that you can access through the link below. Please note that antibodies raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide. What this means in practise is that a single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule. The BLAST database can also be used to compare any amino acid sequence between species and between protein. The full amino acid sequence of the target protein can be found by following the link in the Accession field. You can then search any amino acid sequence in the target protein using the BLAST database. When selecting a sequence to search, please choose carefully, as the sequence you choose may be a precursor rather than the mature protein for example. |
| Form |
Lyophilised with 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3 |
| Reconstitution |
Reconstitute in 100 µl of sterile distilled water to achieve an antibody concentration of 1 mg/ml. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. |
