PUMA Fragment, Recombinant, Human, aa76-170, His-tag (Bcl-2-binding Component 3, JFY-1, p53 Up-regulated Modulator of Apoptosis, BBC3)

Apoptosis is related to many diseases and development. The p53 tumor-suppressor protein induces apoptosis through transcriptional activation of several genes. A novel p53 inducible pro-apoptotic gene was identified recently and designated PUMA (for p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) and bbc3 (for Bcl-2 binding component 3) in human and mouse. PUMA is one of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members including Bax and Noxa, which are also transcriptional targets of p53. The PUMA gene encodes two BH3 domain-containing proteins termed PUMA-a and PUMA-b. PUMA proteins bind Bcl-2, localize to the mitochondria, and induce cytochrome c release and apoptosis in response to p53. PUMA may be a direct mediator of p53-induced apoptosis. This PUMA recombinant protein is recognized by several ProSci PUMA monoclonal antibodies, but not the two polyclonal antibodies.\n\nSource:\nRecombinant protein corresponding to human PUMA fragment, fused to His-tag and strepII-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli.\n\nMolecular Weight:\n~15kD\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nAliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
