Background
BAX is a member of the Bcl-2 gene family. Apoptosis regulator BAX promotes apoptosis by binding to and antagonizing the Bcl-2 protein. In healthy mammalian cells, the majority of BAX is found in the cytosol, but upon initiation of apoptotic signaling, Bax undergoes a conformational shift. Upon induction of apoptosis, BAX becomes organelle membrane-associated, and in particular, mitochondrial membrane associated. The expression of BAX is upregulated by the tumor suppressor protein p53, and BAX has been shown to be involved in p53-mediated apoptosis. The p53 protein is a transcription factor that, when activated as part of the cell"s response to stress, regulates many downstream target genes, including BAX.
注意事项:
1. 如果本抗体用于Western blot (WB)、免疫荧光(IF)、免疫细胞化学(ICC)等实验,请注意回收使用过的稀释抗体。回收的抗体通常至少可以重复使用5-10次。稀释后的抗体,包括已经使用过的稀释抗体,请4℃保存。
2. 回收后重复使用的抗体,使用方法同新鲜稀释的抗体。如果在重复使用过程中发现抗体出现轻微混浊现象,可以10,000g离心1-3分钟,取上清用于后续检测。如果回收的抗体出现明显的絮状物或长霉长菌等情况,则可以考虑废弃该抗体。
3. 提供的Western一抗稀释液也可以用于免疫荧光(IF)、免疫组化(IHC)、免疫细胞化学(ICC)等适当用途。如果希望获得最佳的检测效果,请考虑使用上述检测专用的一抗稀释液。
