Members in the Bcl-2 family are critical regulators of apoptosis by either inhibiting or promoting cell death. Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain is a potent death domain. BH3 domain containing pro-apoptotic proteins, including Bad, Bax, Bid, Bik, Hrk, Nip3, and Bim, form a growingsubclass of the Bcl-2 family. A novel BH3 domaincontaining protein was recently identified and designated Bnip3L, Bnip3a, and Nix (for Nip3-like protein X) (Matsushima, M. et al.; Yasuda, M. et al.; Chen, G, et al.).Bnip3L/Bnip3a/Nix is a homolog of the E1B 19K/Bcl-2 binding and pro-apoptotic protein Bnip3. Over expression of Bnip3L induces apoptosis (Yasuda, M. et al.; Chen, G, et al.). Bnip3L interacts withand overcomes suppresses by Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Bnip3Lis localized in mitochondria. The messenger RNA of Bnip3L is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues (Matsushima, M. et al.; Yasuda, M. et al.). Bnip3L and Bnip3 form a new subfamily of the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial proteins.
Positive Control: K562 cell lysatecan be used as positive control
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
