Supplier:  BD Biosciences 556382

Catalog No. BDB556382

Description

Bak (for Bcl-2 homologous Antagonist/Killer) is a recently identified member of the Bcl-2 family. Bcl-2 family members are involved in mediating programmed cell death or apoptosis, and share two highly conserved functional regions, Bcl-2 homology 1 and 2 (BH1 and BH2). Several of the family members, including Bcl-2, act as inhibitors of apoptosis, whereas others such as Bax promote cell death. Like Bax promote cell death. Like Bax, Bak primarily promotes apoptosis. However, unlike Bax, Bak has also been shown to inhibit cell death. Bak inhibited both serum-starvation and drug induced apoptosis when overexpressed in an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed cell line. However, Bax did not inhibit cell death under the same conditions. Bak mNRA has been identified in a wide variety of fetal and adult tissues, with the highest levels observed in heart and skeletal muscle. The apparently ubiquitous expression of Bak has lead to the suggestion that its function may be mediated by cell death inhibitory factors, particularly in cell types with a long life span. Bak migrates at a reduced molecular weight ∽24 kDa. G317-2 reacts with human Bak. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the first 50 amino acids of human Bak was used as immunogen.
