 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION - Bak Rabbit Antibody
Name: Bak Rabbit Antibody
PDF of Datasheet

Clone ID: Y164
Antibody Type: Rabbit Monoclonal IgG
Catalog#: 1542-1
Size: 100ul
Price: $ 250

Recommended Applications: WB, IHC, ICC, FC
Species Reactivity: Human

Mol. Weight: 23 kDa
UniProt ID: Q16611

Alternative names: Apoptosis regulator BAK, Bcl-2-like 7 protein

Description: Bak a pro-apoptotic analog to Bax, is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. During mitochondria-regulated programmed cell death, Bak promotes apoptosis by binding Bcl-2 and inhibiting its anti-apoptotic function (1). Upon apoptotic stimulation, Bak translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane (2). Pro-apoptotic cascade activates BID, which oligomerizes Bak into pores that result in the release of cytochrome c (2, 3). In healthy cells, Bak associate with Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 but not with Bcl-2, Bcl-w or A1 and only when freed of both Bak will induce apoptosis.

Specificity: A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the N-term of human Bak was used as immunogen. The antibody does not cross-react with other Bcl-2 members.

Recommended Dilutions:
WB: 1:1,000-5,000
